    I have M8 x 1.25 but it looks to be coarser. I'll hit the hardware store on the way home from work later. But it looks like maybe a M8x1.5 it also had a 14 mm like a heavy nut instead of a 13 mm hex.

    MEP-831a Troubleshooting

    It was the overload on the back top side of the black box. The gfi never tripped. I used the same small heater on my mep 531a and it works great. But even on low (500 watts ) it trips the overload.

    MEP-831a Troubleshooting

    Maybe that's the issue? But it trips at 500 watts . I don't have it grounded. It was damp out. But what I plugged it into was dry as could be.
