I sent the unit to Thousand Oaks but they refused to honor the warranty stating that the circuit board looked like it had been exposed to salt water or some other corrosive material. They checked the heater bands (different brand) but they were fine. The power supply was a Pyramid 15 amp; I applied a multimeter to it several times and…
