So this weekend I used a DIY electric heating system for my HLT for the first time. I used a STC-1000 controller with 2- 2000W , 120 v hot water heating elements. When I had the 2 element plugged in the controller the display dimmed a little and kind of flickered. It also would say 888 or BBB. Also the 20 extension cord was warm. Found out later the on the bottom of the SCT-1000 there was a bubble and smelt buried. I am pretty sure I fried it. I am confused on I fried. The controller I have been using for a year or so now for my fermenter. The STC-100 is a 110 v and was using 2- 2000w 120v elements. Also I did not ground the elements? Any thoughts?
