hey fred- its always good to have a trouble shooting list (for everyone not just fred) so that you can check for the simple stuff first then progress from one to the next and narrow it down to what you think it is and keep testing testing testing. and yes replacing the SC is the obvious one but we had a wire slip 1/2 way out of its contact and we had no idea why the SC kept cutting out and shuddering plus getting very hot. so another step i have for you is to check your contacts!!! among other things- but ill leave it to you to create your own list- trust me its different for all of us
