Manufacturer Narrative
|
The unit was returned for evaluation.Based on the results of this testing, the initial complaint appears to have been caused by a faulty power switch.An internal short in this component caused the rapid power cycling that was originally observed.This also caused excessive heat that was beginning to burn the plastic around the switch.Based on the fact that the unit had been in operation for over 4500 hours at the time of testing, it does not appear that the unit shipped in this condition.It is unclear how the short developed in the switch.A pre-existing flaw may have worsened over time or contamination in the switch may have contributed since there was a large amount of dust and dirt present.
