Thanks for the reply, and helping me sort this out, Furd! The rectifier itself doesn't look like it should go bad for any reason.Īnyone know if it's common for a rectifier to do this and just go bad, or if there's a common cause that results in it going bad or smoking like this? (I think I know that they can do this from just building up too much heat that they can't hold anymore and they fry.). I was wanting to include a picture because you can see the area that is smoking, (a round plastic piece that the metal plate is attached to looks like it is melting. So nothing looks like it could cause a problem to the rectifier, but I'm not sure what would cause a rectifier to just go bad, or start smoking. ![]() The connections look good and clean, and everything inside is very clean. ![]() There are 2 heavy aluminum wires coming from the transformer, connecting directly at the rectifier at 2 separate round metal plates, (sorry don't know what to properly call them). I tried to post some pics if was helpful, but couldn't get them to upload, (I've posted pics of the same type and size on the forum before and not had this problem, so I don't know why it wasn't working.).īut anyway, thanks for the input.
