Hello,
I believe I need a smoke unit for my MTH # 20-3051-1
I can feel that the fan is blowing out only cold air.
So I will order a new unit from Midge at MTH.
Can I repair the old unit for a spare?
There must be some type of heating element that I can replace has anyone done this?
Thank you for your time,
Rudy

This may not be the smoke unit at all. It would be more likely that you have a wiring issue or possibly a smoke unit output failure on the board.
Before taking time to replace the smoke unit, I suggest measuring the resistance of the smoke resistors with the smoke unit unplugged. They should come in around 7 to 10 ohms. Then I'd check the wiring from the smoke unit to the board.
Thanks John,
Should have known it couldn’t be that easy or economical for me.
I have all the luck, or lack of it lol.
Thank you for the sound advice I will follow it…………
