The product, in the report: Dayton Delux Dual Float Controller 1APP4 used to control sump pumps
I installed the Dayton Delux Dual Float Controller model 1APP4 to control a sump pump in my crawl space. It worked fine for 2 years. One week ago, I smelled buring plastic in my basement. I could find the source of the smell at first. Last place that I looked was in the crawl space and saw that the 2X6 that I mounted the float controller to was burned and the plastic on the housing for the float controller was burned and melted.
This failure could have started a fire and burned down my house!
