Having an issue with my chiller not turning off.

Those pics are too blurry, what they need over at eevblog is a clear shot, front and back of each pcb. You’re going to have to take them apart. Then it’s easy to follow the traces on the pcbs (reverse engineer) and figure out what goes where.

Also, they’re going to expect you to be able to perform basic tests on your own so please go watch some of “eevblog” on YouTube, specifically the multimeter operation videos.

I can tell that you’ve been researching and learning, just keep at it and don’t give up. Think of all the money you can save by teaching yourself how to do this. :bigjoint:

Asking for a little help is cool. This is a Full Blown On Line Coarse. Bless you @dstroy. This guy walked in on this with Nothing but a soldering iron. Hope it doesn't take many more pages.
I want see if he fixes it!!

today's lesson: don't be such a condescending prick to others when they ask for advice and others won't do the same to you.
i'm out.

I doubt I’ll be able to fix it without the kind of help dstroy was giving me. I need that step by step instruction to do anything electrical. It’s not a very strong suite of mine.

P.s @dstroy there’s no way I’d be confident enough in unsoldering the boards from each other. It’s too much of a risk to take a pic for people that In the end probably won’t be able to get me to an end result. I did check the coils on the relays with the unit unplugged today though. Registered right at 400ohms like its supposed to.

I really just need a trial and error type walkthrough. Test this, if it’s good, then test this, if it’s good, then test this, so on and so forth.

@dstroy when testing these NPN transistors, you’re supposed to test six things because there are three poles, with each you switch the polarity on. When you put the probes one way and it reads say 12,000 ohms, when you reverse the polarity on those same 2 poles, is it supposed to always be
negative ohms? High ohms one way and negative the other? Or do I have this wrong?

Oh nvm one sides supposed to be very high and the other, reversed probes, much lower, but not negative. Mines showing negative on some of the readings.... I think it might be the NPN transistors.
