I replaced my Magnetek unit 2 weeks ago. I took pictures before and during the removal to make sure the wires and connections were the same. After following the PD directions very closely, and double checking the connections, none of the AC outlets worked. Triple checked the connections against the directions; still no power to the outlets. It seemed one of the neutral (white) wires was originally pigtailed to some other white wires, and wasn't connected to the common gang bar for the white wires, which was what the directions said I was to use. Just switched that wire back into the pigtailed wires and everything worked fine. My point here is to make sure you duplicate the original connections as they may differ slightly from the PD directions sheet. The biggest problem I ran into was getting more slack into two of the stiff, heavy
gauge wires in order to complete the dc connections. Have fun, and good luck.
