Came home from being out all day and notice a weird sharpie like smell in the top part of the house. Not a normal sharpie but the metal container permanent marker smell. Search everything thinking its possibly something electrical. Do the dog sniff everything search and come up with nothing. Open windows put it off as my wife using a normal sharpie.

Start doing some maintenance on the tank on the main level and open the cabinet, there is the smell very faint. Everything looks okay from first glance. Look over the tank itself again one of my tunze pumps is off. Weird. Look in the cabinet a d that pumps contoller is off.

I take it off the bracket and its burning hot!

Look at what I found.

and ya good thing that didn't do any more damage. Did it get wet or anything? Hopefully tunze can send you a new one, or someone on here has one.

I would have been in trouble...my sense of smell is terrible! I never would have known. Glad you and your family are safe, and that Tunze is gonna take care of you.
