Yeah if you have the original model, EL flashes after 14 months of use. Still works correctly, just a reminder to make sure you have a back up for when it eventually goes bad. Could be 5 years, tomorrow, 3 weeks, 2 years etc.

@JoeKirk  I did the exact same thing! :classic_laugh:. My 100 watt was flashing  EL and then 78.....what the?  Oh yeah... face plant. :classic_laugh: I took off the suction cups turned it so I can't see the display.  It's still working great!  I do keep a thermometer in the tank to double check its maintaning the temp I want.. So far so good! :classic_biggrin:

If ACO were ever to take up heater building again, my suggestion would be a small led that goes on when the heater has reached EOL.  It could even be a happy green color.  🙂   The current approach seems a little heavy handed.
