    Wiring Problem??

    Warranty Claim? I don't think so! Not much I can do when your friend installs something and has no business doing so.

    Really, what is the hole for?

    If you are not to use crimp on terminals, then how do you attach the wire?
    The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing the greatest amount of free meals and stamps EVER.
    Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us to "Please Do Not Feed the Animals". Their stated reason for this policy "... the animals become dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves."

    I use these, or a short piece of stranded wire with a crimp connector on the board and then wire nutted to the tstat cable.

    Arcing, I'm guessing

    Some spade connectors have a little tab on them with a dimple that mates with the hole

    Board looks far too dirty, simplistic and old to be a warranty issue anyway. Look at the realestate surrounding the terminals...looks like acres. With newer boards you'd be lucky to fit your needle nose around a LV terminal to yank off a stubborn spade connector.

    This unit was only a year old. Panel was missing screw and flapping in wind. The compressor was fragged, probably from the constant jogging when terminals arced.
    As for the warranty ??, We did not install it, and the unit was not registered by a contractor so supplier said NO.
    Nordyne HP, comes with 6 inch bugs(pre-crimped, stranded wire). WE, nut them to solid stat wire then connect to terminals. May have been a goodman, I can't remember.

    Yep.
    That's what I thought the hole was for... that sort of connection is actually superior to most others... if you add solder.
