Hi Alexandre,

Thank you for the offer!  I am an electrical engineer by training, and as
far as I can tell the electronics did indeed burn out.  However, I am
pretty sure the compressor rotor locked first and this is what caused the
burnout.

As mentioned in the Email I just sent, we reached the target for
replacement anyway so this is a moot point. :-)  The new unit is far more
energy efficient than the old one, which will help to keep TDE running far
into the future even with syrocketing energy bills.

Tim
