Why won't my PID turn on?

[whoaru99]

Should I just A.) pop the internals of the PID out and pop the new one in, or B.) replace the whole thing, housing and all?

B for sure because if you open the new one and for some reason something happens, Auber probably won't stand behind it if they can detect you opened it.

Oh yeah, hadn't thought of that. Thanks!

I only looked at it and made sure there was no corrosion and popped it back in. I can take some photos if you'd like, but my Auber order shipped and will (hopefully) be here Wednesday. Should I just A.) pop the internals of the PID out and pop the new one in, or B.) replace the whole thing, housing and all? Or if A doesn't work continue to B?

Thanks to everyone for all the help. If the new PID doesn't work I'm sure I'll be back begging for help!

As long as there is no warranty seal to break, do it. From the Industrial world I come from, the person on the plant floor doesn't have time or a drawing to remove the wires.
Connect the new PID to 120, push a few buttons, if it all looks ok, pull the inside.
Good luck

Is the new PID also an SYL-2352? If not then you would need to make sure the terminal assignments for the new unit are the sames as for the old unit before going with option "A".

Brew on

Couple things...

Clearly I can't speak for Auber but I do work at a large OEM and can advise tamper indicators/tell tales are not aways obvious, sometimes for a reason. OTOH, the stuff I deal with is typically orders of magnitude more expensive.

Secondly, this isn't a line down, every minute costs us big $$$$$ to even really consider that approach. Not to mention, like doug alludes to, if they're even interchangeable at all.

Well, looks like it was a bad PID. And now I have wifi!
