li lo l 1 The cause of the exhaust fan trio was determined to be from a short in I

i the enntrol system.

The short occurred due to high resistance connec-I i i Lu U i tions at the teminals of the solenoid valve which suoDlies service wateri u L.J l to seal the fan.

This caused the valve rectifier to fail and in turn i

I caused the control transfomer fuse to blow.
