Another odd K8 relay quirk found this weekend.....
so it got cold and attempted to start a heater, cycled to heat 1 time then beeper and red light turned on, no biggie, first time starting this season..... and now only light and beeper even after resetting, check everything else, still red light of death. lots of trouble shooting and everything on the machine looks correct except there is no 'click' sound from K8 when in heat position
K8 relay contacts had jumped out of track, I had another K8 relay in the shop that 'failed' a few years ago that I saved, tada, it did the same thing, the contacts were outside their correct grooves in the controlling board.
the top of the contacts are supposed to be in the grooves of the wafer board.
this is what the correct alignment should look like
