The Root Cause

Shiloshepard,

I have found the root cause and will put together a document with pictures and a "how to" on options to fix the problem. I know what you did to get your unit working but you do risk keeping the motor start capacitor in circuit if the contacts decide to arc. This could do some damage. I will post in a day or so with more info. Please reply and let me know if my email address is available to you in my profile so I can get this info to you.

Regards,

Steve
