The temperature controller module (which was replaced ~1.5 yrs ago) appears to have failed - its display flashes on and off and the output relay turns on in short pulses. The circulation pump is OK and I can manually close the contacts to the cooler and the compressor runs cools the water. The temperature controller is a Love Controls TS-13010. I may have a controller at home which we could use until we get a replacement. ___end___ PSPT COMMENT BY stueben: Sun Sep 28 01:03:04 GMT 2014 I left the chiller on and circulating water but disconnected the the contacts to turn on the compressor. ___end___
