It was a certified service, the only one available and the bill was $180 for 15 minutes of useless job.

All circumstantial evidence points to this cap as a cause for the smoke (the fan did not work more that couple of minutes after smoke scare and his inspection. .. And I am sure I will hear exactly that kind of excuse from him tomorrow
My point is this:
I did not go up the roof in the first place because I am not young any more and I thought it was better to leave that to an expert.. regardless of I could have repaired this if the problem was on ground.
But, how about people who know nothing about electricity? Or incapable of climbing to the roof?
