Help with Blue Moon - tanTALK

The bed is making a buzzing sound when idle and both outside 630w facials are out. Pulled the tray out to find a torched ballast and replaced it. The bed still buzzes and the facials are still out. Any experience out there? THANKS

(PS - I'll be posting this same question on another forum as well)

sounds like a contactor is out. They get very buzzie when they are dying.

The buzzing is coming from the other tray (opposite the contactor). I think I found my problem. The ignitor is blown (looking from the top it's definately blown (took off the top air grids to get a good look) - looking from underneath (through the facial opening) it looked fine. I hope this is problem solved. Thanks everyone for your input - my electrician of 20 years is on vacation this week and as you well know - training another yahoo isn't in the budget!!

Always go with the obvious. Burnt out is the winner!

What actually happened.... The wire lead to the facial lamp holder shorted out against the metal facial housing and blew the ignitor and the facial ballast - total cost $360. Thanks for the help
