...to which I'm happy to reply to all of you that, after running for four days without failure, we turned it off overnight to see what would happen. Fired it back up this morning and it's still working perfectly.

I don't pretend to have any idea what happened, but I'm not complaining.

Thanks again for everybody's help!
