Progressive Industries EMS-HW30C Problem
After an incident at a campground that fried my TV and microwave six years ago, I decided it was time to get some protection. I purchased and installed the Progressive Industries EMS-HW30C Electric...

in my company solder dressing leads under a screw connection was a no-no. This was on equipment that had to meet MIL288800B environmental conditions. solder cold flows, it is soft, even the lead free. over time the connection begins to loose compression, end result is heat.
your problem does sound like it is/was heat related, possibly due to a high resistance connection either at the input or a bad crimp or solder connection for the coil. Did you by chance check the torque on the connections? If that was good I would suspect another internal connection as a problem source.
BTW I have the same unit, used it for almost 4 years, and probably approaching 300 days. So far it has performed wonderfully, although yes it does get warm (not hot). In fact this weekend it alerted me to a intermittent open ground at the pedistel.
