Just a question for the electrician types in the group:
I have a Harbor Fright "2 hp" Dc that's had a LOT of hours in the last 4
or 5
years..
A few days ago, it hiccupped a few times and quit.. I figured that it
threw a
breaker, but that was fine..
Found that the switch was burned up.. was frozen in the ON position, but
had a
semi-melted contact..
The weird thing is that I never USE the switch... The DC is plugged into a
switched plug and the DC switch has been in the ON position for years..
Any idea what would make the DC switch go, when nothing else did,
including the
breaker or the 15 amp slo-blow fuse on the remote switch?
I should add that this $140 DC has really sucked over the years and I'd
buy
another if I was looking for an inexpensive DC.. YMWV
