Cycle time a little longer now after chilling overnight. It came on and ran for 15 min then shrank and faded the filiments did go out. if left off for an hour it can run upto 10 min before doing same. Need to get it into failure mode again before testing your sugestion Terry. Did try cooling about every part with Freeze mist duiring failure with no effect.
