Now the only safety switch I haven't found is the VSSS Vent safety
shutoff switch.


After googling for a while, I think the reason I can't see the VSSS
is because it's *inside* the plenum!

I think it's attached to the brown board, like this from the net:

So, the VSSS would then be on the other side of *this* brown board:

Is that correct?


The small cylindrical thing with a red tip on one of the wires is a "one
shot" thermal fuse and if temps get too high it will pop. It's in series
with all the other safeties and will kill the control voltage. ^_^
