I have always been a fan of Auber Instruments PID controllers. I have one for my smoker, one for my sous vid machine and two for my curing chamber. One controls humidity and the other temp. Yesterday sitting in the living room I got a warning from my Govee temp and humidity monitor saying the high temp alarm just went off. Went to check things out and sure enough the chamber was not cooling. Looked at the PID and it said it was working and trying to turn on the chamber to cool but nothing was happening. Plugged in my tester to the outlet of the PID and it had zero power. Checked the fuse and all was good there. So knowing I needed to get the chamber back up and running I used a Plug and Play one I had from Auber and sure enough the chamber started right up.
This morning I took the faulty PID apart and found a hot spot. Something got hot enough to melt the plastic and cut power to the outlet.
The cost of shipping from Auber is just crazy so instead of replacing the PID I just ordered a Inkbird from Amazon so I had anthother back up to replace the one I am now using. Amazon has free shipping.
