On another note be sure to de-energize the AC connections before performing any of these checks including measuring resistance.

I called the company and spoke with tech support, very helpful. The problem is internal, a bad connection at an internal lug caused the over heating. It seems I can fix this one with another piece of wire and cleaning the lugs then cranking them down. The unit still does it's job just has a little chatter to it, which it never had before. I think once it is repaired properly it should be no problem. Some buzzing is common at times so they say. We'll try and get a redo with pictures to post for you folk. You have all been very helpful. Thanks! By the way the new model Surge Guard #55550 has a new control board inside and is a little better unit than my current one (Model #34560). Also the new portable unit (Model #34951) is even much more advanced than either of these "hardwired" units. I may even consider going back to an external unit, as that's what my previous Montana always used. Thanks again! Great help! Great Site! God Bless!
