    Reviving a MES 30 --> PID

    @jchad send me your ZIP code. I took the whole brick out. I'll find a box, wrap it and check with UPS today or tomorrow to find out how much it cost to ship to your ZIP and let you know.

    Reviving a MES 30 --> PID

    A lot to read there that I want to ask questions about and re-read for testing. So I'll get back to that. First, you mention something about hacking the heat shield as it puts to much heat in top right corner. That on my version or a different version? I just put the racks in to mount the...

    Reviving a MES 30 --> PID

    Got it up and running and looks like it just now stabilized at set temp. Now to read up more on how to set this up, thanks @tallbm for the link. Then attack the inside more to continue cleaning it up so it looks prettier. And thanks @chopsaw @normanaj @dsk and @schlotz for the help as well.

    Thanks for that additional link, will definitely check it out. Just found out my PID arrived a few moments ago. Opened and everything is there so will be able to test maybe during lunch.

    Reviving a MES 30 --> PID

    Right now, no plans at all. After re-reading and double checking, I just unplugged that plastic box the board is in, pulled the brown wire connector and the white/black wire connector to the side and connected the other 2 remaining connectors to each other. Just to get it out of the way I...

    Reviving a MES 30 --> PID

    I see that now. Have not made any cuts but I can see how those 2 connectors can be plugged into each other. I also noticed @tallbm 's post earlier about how the element needs a time set to actually run. So, I put it back together (temporarily) only a couple screws here and there to hold that...

    Reviving a MES 30 --> PID

    I will check that out as well when I get home from work and have a chance to play with it some more. I didn't think of adding time to it, thought I could just try to set a temp and see if it worked/heated. But will definitely give this a look.

    You are correct. I totally misworded that. My apologies for the confusion.

    Reviving a MES 30 --> PID

    Good to know, I read up on it, but no mention of the wall part. Will do that. Thanks. 👍

    Reviving a MES 30 --> PID

    Yeah, from what I can tell, even the oem controller was meh. So I ordered the WiFi Auber one. Happened to be on sale for Labor Day weekend also. Basically saved shipping cost. But I'll be able to control it much like I do my pellet grill as well. I'm the meantime, putting it back together...

    Reviving a MES 30 --> PID

    So a buddy gave me this 30 that he got from a friend. Cleaned it up and started checking it out. Control panel is shot, no buttons and display screen is all sun cracked. Lights up but you can't see anything to navigate. So I had to figure out which buttons were which and see if I could get it...
