If you don't have the tools and don't know how to fix the problem, you
should call in a professional.


I normally dislike this advice, but in cases where you risk burning
down the house, it sounds rational. *Making it "work" is not necessarily
the same as making it "safe".


On the one hand, it's hard to argue against that logic. *On the other,
I had already called in the "pros" twice. *Two different companies
came out and gave two different diagnoses, replaced parts, and charged
me a total of more than $300. *When it went out the third time, I
started googling and did it myself. *Not saying you guys are wrong in
general, just saying that two different companies combined to bat .000
in my case.


Point taken...and well done on your "part".
