Once again, thanks.  I'll shoot him an email and let you know the outcome.

Are you running both heating elements off of the PID? If so, your overloading the SSR as it's only rated for one element. Replace it with a 40 amp SSR.

Mr Walleye

As far as I know the Auber "Plug & Play" units are rated at 1440 watts to 1800 watts depending on the model. Also, if this was a home built unit and Auber parts were used, I believe the smallest SSR they sell is a 25 amp which at 120v equates to 3000 watts. I don't think running 1000 watts (2 elements) would exceed the load it was designed for in any of the above situations.

Mine is home built and has a 25 amp SSR running 2 elements and has never missed a beat.
