    Ah how I hate how these topics scroll down in subcategories everywhere.

    Scott! Can we fix that? Just make every post succeed the next so you just scroll to the bottom for the latest? It’s so confusing having to read in between replies to see what the last guy said.

    Okay, bedtime, it’s a good thing, lol.

    Good to know, so now we know, 240V Is not incorrect, you have 2 hot legs coming in so it’s single phase 220/240 the only thing that would act up with messed up voltage would be your element but it’s working when fed directly, we know that.

    Now, it’s very, very easy to get caught in the “OH! This is wrong, gotta fix that, OH! this isn’t wired right, gotta fix that” type loop and then you start blowing stuff up, I’ve done it.

    We need to find what’s broken, test every compoent like what’s being recommended using the manual, if you verify EVERY component is working properly THEN we can talk about the wiring being a problem.

    Swapping wires around thinking “it goes there” can blow stuff up faster than an 8 year old with a water gun in an electronics store.
