Should be one of those on there among other things. It is the control board for a salt cell for a pool. The transformer failed. I'm hoping, but not expecting, that the board survived and a new transformer will do the trick.

When you flipped the breaker for it you could hear the transformer windings jump. Kinda wild.

Oooo. Yeah I assume you checked that the output wasn't shorted? I find it pretty rare that transformers fail on their own, but I'm no technition.

I'm not exactly an expert either. Unfortunately you have to fix the thing that is broke not the thing you are an expert on.

Good point.

Now I'm thinking turn it back on, somehow it doesn't trip the breaker either, and thermal camera it.

Hot part is the broken part right?
