Reminds me of the time my combi machine wouldn’t start up. I didn’t know that what was causing the problem. I went to a local electrician and after I explaining the problem to him the first thing he said was “I guess you have a jerry rigged electricians nightmare in your shop”. Well, I didn’t and I didn’t like this guys cynical attitude, but my guess is that he has had to fix some pretty bad amateur electrical work. Anyway he didn’t seem interested in having a look so I just guessed it was the start capacitor and bought a replacement which did the trick. It’s illegal for non authorise electricians to do and electrical work here in Norway.
