Thanks guys. The mod to the Daewoo worked great. I also installed the 33ohm res across B/E of HOT and it ran all night fine. However, the CTC203AX7 is still breaking down after 5-10 mins. I removed L14401 and cleaned it completely before re-installation. Same fault, except the only thing I can add is that when it shutsdown the relay clicks off, attempts to come on again two or three times with relay clicking back and forth. Then when it shuts down, no need to unplug it, just pressing power fires it back up. Any other ideas? I'm still wondering about the modification re: the 18xxx series parts which aren't in this unit.
