Scott and Bill
I guess the question then arises, is this an "or" function? The fan turns off after 10 seconds or the temp is below 38 degrees? Is the temperature sensor part of the circuit board or is it attached (thermally) to a FET? I am asking since we have not yet opened one and it will be a while before we get back into the shop.
