    fyi your warranty term starts over since it is a new unit entirely. So you now have another full three year warranty.

    My last replacement finally had it but I was so tired of dealing with 120 I said **** it and sold it for a small loss to upgrade.

    They wouldnt give me the option for a 220 replacement (which I think is stupid its the same price), they only did like for like. So I sold my replacement and bought the 220. never going back to the 120.

    This one made it almost two years. It still had the Unupgraded 15amp plug and sockets not the better 20a ones

    Yeah I have a plan in place I believe will work. Waiting to confirm they will send me me the 220.

    Every time with this issue it’s been a full unit replacement. Plug to boiler is damage so whole thing is replaced. Also your warranty starts over from the new unit as well and I do in fact have that in writing from them.

    That was actually me in the video. Case fan seemed to only prolong it.

    melts at the prongs where they go into the unit. This one wasn’t too swelled this time but the cords done for.

    hard to tell as I only unplug at the end to clean up. My guess is boil though.

    Welp my third Grainfather melted it’s boiler plug. Busy doing the warranty thing and hoping they can send me the 220v NA version instead. Tired of the stupid 120v melting itself

    I cut a full gallon off my strike volume. Kept having the bed collapse on me and the plate sink. Worked wonders.

    It’s possible to adjust your recipes based on your boil off rate. That’s an option as well
