About 10 years old. generally v pleased with it apart from chrome peeling off the pipe at the 4 year point (they replaced the pipe at no charge).
A couple of times in the last few months I've found it won't turn on, and after cycling the breaker on the CU it worked agin. Last couple of weeks the temperature varies a little, and it won't consistently get quite as hot as it used to.
Yesterday - started it, the pump ran as usual but the LED flickered/flashed at an inconsistent frequency, never went constant. Just to see what happened, I turned the knob to minimum temp. and it shut down.
It had never tripped the breaker on the CU.
I have dismantled the controller, the PCB appears well sealed and undamaged by damp. I plan to coat the 6 pins with dielectric grease (which apparently displaces so as to allow electrical contact) as I thought contact cleaner would be a temporary solution which would not provide long term protection.
Willing to be corrected of course.
I'm also thinking about re-flowing the solder joints, and I'll un-plug and grease the communication cable in the processor too if the controller work doesn't solve it.
Otherwise I guess its another PCB from Aqualisa?
