Hi folks. I've had an Inkbird ITC1000F on a wine fridge for controlling fermentation temps for a few years. Brewing Yooper's Oatmeal Stout today and while I'm waiting for the mash to complete I started the rest of my prep, incl firing up the wine fridge. My temp controller had nothing in the display and would not power on so I took it apart and found the brown box on the PCB was generating a lot of heat. I'm guessing that part failed somehow, it's partially shown at the bottom of this pic pilfered from another HBT post:
My question is; Since it lasted 3-4 years I presume it was wired to the outlet ok, I guess it just failed instead of being configured wrong? Thankfully they're only ~$25..
