Liketoroam, glad to hear that it's working for you. It's so much more satisfying when you do it yourself, instead of signing a credit card slip, ain't it? :) Congratulations on not having to do a full disconnect.
Mine has stood up to two three hour loaded runs so far, but we just haven't had the really hot 90+ weather here that my issues happened in earlier. So I'm just giving myself a conditional 'good to go'.... It's definitely quieter inside since I got it 1/2" away from the bathroom wall, added some more sound-deadening, and replaced the missing motor mount. Probably about the same outside, but I haven't checked it with the db meter yet.
