Bored, need a problem I actually can't figure out

[cruizer]

Didn't open it up, it's Autoline and came with a pig tail, thought all I had to do to hook it up for 230 single phase was to hook black and white to hot and green to nutral/ground and cut/tape back red. I used it for 1-1/2 years that way.

Yes, but how is it wired INSIDE the machine. Seen lots of machines miswired by..... somebody.

They do seem to work that way, but eventually something goes poof.
