   @Eka_FOOF_A nope, not torx, i have plenty of those and also the top fits. American Customary hex perfectly.

   i do suspect the lower is mangled tho

     They both look like torq fasteners. Bottom one looks like it maybe munged.

     okay so help me out here internets

     (this post continues this thread from last night: https://mastodon.murkworks.net/@moira/115654079975842579 )

     the switch pointed to by the red arrow should be being closed by the motor being activated, right?

     because i'm getting 120v off the heater inputs against ground and that's coming in from the black leg. the red leg is supposed to be a direct connection except for this one switch and that's the only way I can see getting the behaviour I'm seeing.

     (I waited for live power connection testing until today because I needed other people around.)
