@ian21stcent 

I assume you have checked filters which is a common reason for a range of failure symptoms?


4kW peak of solar PV since 2011; EV and a 1930s house which has been partially renovated to improve its efficiency. 7kW Vaillant heat pump.

@ian21stcent Hello. I replaced the soft start on mine about 3 years ago. The only indication I had that the soft start had failed was the fault led. I couldn't find an exact replacement, the new unit had better spec. but was a bit taller which caused slight problem. I'm not on Skye right now so can't tell you what replacement was. I will check email. But I think you have same issue.

@ian21stcent Email archive is invaluable. I purchased a CSS-25U Emerson Compressor Soft Starter 25A from Kempston Controls
