Thermocube acting up?

Post by lucky1 »

Yesterday I noticed H had unplugged the extension cord :evil:

So I plugged it in again.

Today, the 35/45 thermocube still hasn't shut lights off yet, and thermometer is reading 59 F.

Anybody know what's wrong?

Nothing inside the palm teepee had changed, all was still plugged into the thermocube.

Just in case there's an "order" to how things get plugged in... :?
I unplugged the extension cord to shut the lights off, then unplugged the C-9s from the thermocube, waited a few minutes, plugged C-9s into thermocube again, plugged in the extension cord.

Lights didn't come on this time (59F)...thank goodness.
Probably just a way to reset it?

Whatever...thanks!

The only "reset" I ever did was to put it in a freezer, or outdoors (whichever was colder). Seemed to work.

Thanks, working again fine.

Just reversed the order in which everything had been plugged in.
Go figure...
