Finally getting back to getting pictures and descriptions of my activities with my Breakaway.

My water heater has been acting up for the last year. Turning it on it would only click for awhile and finally fire up. The number of clicks was random sometimes it would fire immediately other times it would take 15-20 seconds of clicking before it would fire. Last week it decided not to fire at all, just would click for minutes.

I believe that the grounding at the upper left of the module being as loose as it was, was the root cause of my troubles.

Thanks for the post, Ed. My water heater has done similar stuff. Water heater repair
