Guyfang kloppk & the others, thank you guys for the assistance!! Was able to give it a test run today and it ran great. No more overload tripped! Ran all my appliances except central ac (I’m waiting for a soft start). As the heating elements in my ovens cycled, the load would fluctuate as...

Update- used 2 cans of CRC contact cleaner, then a can of Deoxit on the S8 switch. Also swapped the S6 out with a new one I found on eBay. VM is working as it should now. Will attempt load test tomorrow [emoji1694]pics of progress: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Where can I purchase the kit? @Ray70
