Hey guys,
I've got an issue with my heatstick and was wondering if anyone might have an idea what's happening.
I built a 1500 Watt heatstick with the instructions from this website: http://www.3d0g.net/brewing/heatstick
I brewed with it wonderfully for about a total of 6-8 hours before it popped my GFCI outlet. I discovered that some water had gotten inside and I dried it out over the next several days. I sealed it even more.
Now, when I try to use it this happens: It works for about 15 minutes then pops the GFCI outlet. I reset the outlet, plug in the heatstick, and it works for about 1-2 minutes before popping again. After resetting, it works for 1-2 minutes again.
If you need more info, I'd more than happy to share it.
