Y'know, I forget what the little puppy is called, but under the doghouse, towards the front and central, is a small, mounted, cylindrical object with electical poles that went bad on our unit...it's about 4" tall, 3" round, and is an easy fix...anything by way of the doghouse is inconvenient, but this is at least on top...a good voltmeter will let you know if it's bad...

thank you,the mechanic is coming on wed....i will give him a list of all the things to check suggested by all of you...and will let you know what he discovered...i called Sam's club and they where useless as far as finding someone nearby to come over....they wanted to send me a mechanic from Connecticut!!!!i Charging me a exorbitant amount of $$$ I am in the Hudson valley N.Y.had to call around and find someone nearby ,which i did...best.M
