LOL!!!!!

Seems like a non issue then if it's just the screws are backwards.

[butwhatif]

cut the wires off and go wireless


sorry i had to--

Apart from the screw issue.
Wire colour code, I can see a few black wires (more than I'd expect).
If it's a W*ber with 240v primary don't waste your time, burn it now or use as a doorstop whatever.

Yep got one of those but also got a bigger replacement freebie from Ted that's so far working fine. If you've had a problem he might do the same for you.

My understanding is Weber had a bad batch of EU or International trannies from some vendor a while ago.

YMMV

It's an domestic/export version Heyboer that's why all the wires. 100,120,220,230 and 240. I sent them the picture and their response was:
"I will make a note on our internal print so they are sure they catch that next time. Normally we always put the nut on the lead side"

This is my experienced opinion...

Weber is a stand-up guy. He will take care of things if they go bad. His PT's work great and the price can't be beat.

Heyboer makes great OT's. Although, they can be a pain when it comes to customer service. They have more of a "prove it" attitude instead of the customer is always right.

+1 on Ted Weber.

thats not as bad as the pics a guy posted of the big blue sprague caps with the labels on backward.
