I need to see if anyone has any experience replacing the controllers on Tunze Power heads?
I have two tunze 6095 Power heads side by side in my tank and cleaned them yesterday. Everything went well, reinstalled and all seemed good until this morning when I noticed the pumps were not running. Opening the cabinet there was some water in the bottom and picking up the controllers they both were dripping water. For some reason it seems water ran down the cable straight into the controllers. Still not really sure what happened as they run up and out of the tank but is only thing that makes sense.
Controllers are shorted out, power supplies were blinking, one controller got pretty melted and stinks like burnt electronics so I know that one is junk. The other does not seem to be as damaged, probably junk but will have to wait and see once it dries out. Power supplies stayed dry and when I plug them in the LED is solid green so they may have been spared.
the thing with these controllers is they are hard wired straight to the power head, no connectors. I took them apart and one of the cables will probably be fine the other is questionable. I have to think the pumps are fine and the power supplies are probably ok just need to figure out how to replace controller(s)
Any advice/experience would be appreciated, they are only like 6 months old so a pretty big investment to just toss and buy all new if they can be fixed.
