I would have gotten back to you sooner, but for some
reason every time I tried, I kept getting "message
unavailable". Now it's okay. To answer your question,
the degauss does not replicate what I am seeing. I didn't
know about the degauss circuit, and I will not pop it ever
again. I am so glad you told me, and boy, do I feel like
an idiot. And now I'm pretty sure that it is not the heat
pump, because I'm in Maryland and it's really cold, cold
enough that the heat has been running a lot. It hasn't
jiggled all day, but that doesn't mean it won't tomorrow.
I hope you find this because I couldn't even access the
message board since yesterday. I kept geeting an error
message every time I tried.
