Wayne MSR Burner problem
I Have a burner that will not start up all the time unless I lift up the transformer and put It back down then hit the
restart button. I have checked the contacts and they look fine and make good contact but I have no idea what could be causing this. When it starts it runs fine.0 -
too much heat on the transformer...
melts the potting material, this in turn changes the performance of a transformer.
ambient temps are a biggie also. i also agree with slight fractures in the electrode porcelain..
if the wires are "Baked" leading to the transformer it is an indicator.0
