RE: [doc] Re: thermo time switch part numbers

Hi Steve. I'm having the same sort of problems as yourself. I started Elly 
the other night because i've just replaced the otter stat switch, to see if 
the fans would cut in and it took about 12 minutes for the fans. Oh and in 
my relay compartment i have the same as you as in jumped wires. Don't worry 
about this.
