Debugging
  • At this point, I had three suspects, the transformer, the air proving switch, and after closer inspection, I saw a brown discoloration on one of the high voltage capacitors.

  • I decided to start with the transformer. After removing it from the unit, I checked the secondary and measured about 7 Ohm, reasonable. The primary was open, just to make sure I slowly opened the primary coil and after getting back to the winding, didn't see anything obvious, but it was still measuring open.

  • On removing the air proving switch, the thermistor checked out at about 1kOhms and responded with a squirt of canned air. All the discretes checked out except for the triac.
