    Hey Ben,

    The instructions are in Walters post. Look at the adjusting instructions.

    Wow, that is a total first for a jager, they are normally running too good. Did you try doing the adjusting to see if that could fix it. Is is getting power, try another plug. The recal might fix it. Also, check to see if just the light is not on but actually heating.

    This same thing happen to my Ebo Jager. The light is one but it's not generating heat. I tried several occassions to try to get it to work but had no success. The only difference between yours and mine is mine was 5 years when it happend.

    Good luck!

    10 or 15 years ago, you could not buy better than Ebo. Unfortunately, some 6-7 years ago, maybe a year more, the company was either sold or transformed in some way (exactly what happened escapes my recollection at the moment) and people (mostly marine) started reporting Ebo failures in pretty large numbers. Those Ebos that I purchased at that time are all now non-functional. Some froze on, some froze off, some lights failed, some didn't. I'm not talking about a heater or two, either. I'm talking about 6 separate heaters that I went through in a 180, 5 separate heaters I went through in a 125, 3 heaters in a 40, etc. Right now, my preference is for the Rena heaters. I've also tried the WON Bros. titaniums. The controllers failed on these, also something regularly reported.

    You never specified Eddie...

    Just a handfull of various other heaters I just threw in a box after they stopped workin. I figured if they sat in there long enough one day I would pull em out, plug em in and they just might magically work again. Thought it was a cool way to finally let em go.

    Send it back, 3 year warranty. They are the best IMO
