I've had my WOZECLE since Feb 2014 and I'm having my first electrical problem. It was sitting running in attract mode for maybe an hour or so and I noticed a hot electrical smell and tracked it down to WOZ and turned it off and it went away.

Later the next day I opened it up and pulled the cover off the box in the bottom and turned it back on - in service mode with coin door closed. After maybe 5-10 minutes I can start to smell the hot electrical smell starting and traced it down to the Unified Power Source Board (15-0015-00. Revision R3). There is an Induction Coil (L9, page D142-143 in the manual) that is very hot. That seems to be the only component that is hot.

I'm not all that knowledgeable with electrical components so I need some help. I'm guessing that the Induction Coil itself isn't the problem, but rather something else is causing it to be so hot?

I'll open a support ticket too, but thought I would see what advice I could get here. I imagine Lloyd will be along any minute to help as usual.

Here is a pic - the coil thing in the middle on the right seems to be the source of the smell.

Thanks for the advice. For sure I'll leave it off until I hear from JJP Support. Sounds like a replacement Unified Power Board is needed - is that the part you had to replace or was it another part?

Yep, I don't want to cause more damage. I'm glad I was close by and noticed it right away.

Thanks for your help!
