Well, It is time to Re-Wire this old Aladdin Quadrafire

Hello

Picked up an old Contour that was dead as a door nail!

It has a 7.5 amp auto Blade Fuse in it, which seems very, very strange! Also the snap disc had tap on it. So I decided to throw in a new Harness before trying to get it going so I know all the connections are good!

The paper work is first. The new wires are not all the same color! Cannot go by the manual diagram!
The first 3 pics below are the Orig manual and wiring diagram.
Good thing it has a Life time guarantee!

Here are more pics

Does anyone know if this blade fuse was ever a stock item?
I really do not think so! ! ! See Pic 1 below? ? ?

Good job cleaning up that mess,Don.Generally ato fuses are 12 volt,no manufacturer would have installed it,as the stove wiring and devices would have burned up before protecting anything.

 

Pics of the unit burning?
