I do not have to defend myself here, mate.. I am not a tradie, but I am in profession as el engineer, and I have pretty good idea of el motors and what they do.. .
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? |
Sorry, I should have put more
in my last post, as on re-reading it came across a bit gruff. Sorry I was in a rush to get back to work.
Do understand I agree with you 100% in this particular case. I can tell you if the circumstances happened to me, I would be 10x more agro than yourself. I was mearly trying to point out maybe there were other circumstances and the guy did check the circuit, seems odd he wouldn't if it was easily accessed.
I'd love to hear what he has to say for himself.
I'm glad no one was injured.
