Highfigh,
Thx I will . . . & I'm located in Tucson Az.
I have done a bit more checking for you on this fault. It is a known issue, and some of these units failed a lot sooner than yours.
Apparently if you open the unit, you will find a 10 amp fuse blown connecting F1506 & F1507. Top fuse located slightly above where 110 power enters unit.
If you replace that fuse, though, the next time you turn the unit on, you will be greeted by a pop and smoke!
I'm afraid that is the end of that unit. What I have found out certainly makes repair an unwise investment. It seems those units have had a somewhat checkered career.
I am gong to keep harping on this, that unreliability of consumer home electronics is a serious issue and needs to improve drastically. In addition units need to be designed and built for ease of service, with accurate diagnostic codes easily accessible.
What we have at the moment is a massive disgrace, and contributing to world wide pollution, on a literally industrial scale.
We need a new ground up design approach right across the board. May be the current production difficulties are an opportunity to reset, and start deigning and building units in the western democracies, where there can be more control throughout the design and manufacturing process. We need to stop this continues descent into Bedlam now!
