Failed uth.

[tttaylorrr]

Same issue with another t-stat so its not the jumpstarts. I'm going to add a rheostat to it see if i can regulate it better that way. Just waiting for my electrician friend to wire it in properly. Dome lamp is keeping my ambient temps fine but I don't like Clyde not having belly heat.

i'd stop using that UTH if you can and get another one. that doesn't sound good.

Speaking from experience here... Did you peel this off in the past and reuse it? They don't like being bent at all. Something heating that fast makes me nervous. Should be a gradual heat and not like "OMG FIRE" fast type of heat. I have had to toss so many UTHs over the years from stupidity.

good point. @Pezz what kind of UTH is it?
