How common is it for heat tape in a rack system to fail? I have THG (I think. It came with the rack) heat tape in an AP rack. The first time I had a problem, I assumed it was my thermostat so I threw it out and used a new one. Now it failed again last night with the new TStat. The temp on the tape goes to 130 degrees and is not being controlled. Don't worry all heat tape is off right now.
So...question is: Do I replace the heat tape this time or try a new/better TStat. I currently use Hydrofarms on all of my enclosures and racks without issue until now. So far I'm not a fan of my rack system
Thanks!!
