I could have told ya that, all the glory and dbfan eats it up. Same thing happens with a lot of AC disconnect boxes on air handlers with electric heat, lugs get loose and the wire heats up because of the poor connection, sometimes the breaker/contacts get pitted and even after tightening them, it still heats up and causes problems.

But atleast ya got it fixed I guess~
