I didn't read the piece (yet) but your post did remind me that he did have an issue with melting parts.

As long as a self-reset breaker isn't used, I'd agree. I haven't gone looking for them but I'd imagine they would be relatively easy to find using the internet. But it sounds like the real issue has been diagnosed and the fix is rather easy. So thanks for sharing that with us!
