I found the problem inside the unit, a blown thermal fuse on the neutral side of the power. The inside of this unit is nothing like the pictures, but the part up to removing the black rim was accurate. This unit is an SB and apparently a lesser model of the above.

Thanks for this, very helpful. I only needed to remove the loud, horrible beeper (mission accomplished, woohoo!) although the really hard part for some reason was rotating the tabbed black ring independently of the inside liner. Coudn't get it to budge AT ALL, as if they were glued together. I could only rotate them as a unit inside the housing. After way too long working at this, I ended up wedging a flathead into the crevice between the ring and liner, from the inside, at the two points where I could see the tabs through the hole on the outside, then just twisted the screwdriver and snapped off the tabs one at a time. There are two more tabs on the other side of the ring, but these just slide out once the first two are gone, and the liner can be easily removed. When reassembling, the black trim fits quite snugly back onto the liner, so the unit feels as solid as it did before the operation. Thanks again!

Dave,

I also plan to remove beeper, did you just cut it out or un-solder it? any issues?

thanks

I’m not Dave, but I used a vacuum desoldering tool to remove the beeper, which was easy. I think there would have been enough room to cut it out also. The only hard part was getting the black ring off and then back on.

I want one trolley module for ARC 3000SB. Where can I get. How much I have to. Pay for it approximately.
