Steve,
I believe the blue pot that seems to be part of the E-Lite power supply may be for voltage output level or the AC frequency. As noted on the front, its a higher frequency than normal AC wall outlet power. Therefore I wouldn't try to just adjust that. I would think the other pot which is wired to the dimmer board is the culprit. Try tapping one first when the problem occurs, especially the blue one, to see if the issue seems corrected. If not, try the other one.
Solid state electronics also suffer from localized heat issues. If that assembly is located in a tightly enclosed area, it could be an issue as components and printed circuit boards age. Does the problem show up randomly or only after its been on for a while. Does it get better or the problem goes away if the module is dangled in open air? Suspect heat issues.
I guess in a nutshell connectors not making good contact, adjustable potentiometers, and heat related issues seem to be go to areas when electronics intermittantly work.
Just think, maybe Newell owners have lower potential for alzheimers because of all the mental exercise.......now for my belly......
Regards,
Bob
