My heat pump stopped pumping heat and when I pulled the cover off the below pic is what I saw (I unplugged the wire to get a look at it).
1. It looks like I simply need to get a new board, swap it for the old one, and replace the connectors on the 2 black wires. Is this correct? 2. The lower of the two black wires, which is mostly hidden, looks like it was fairly corroded. Is this a likely cause of the arcing? Will coating the connections in dilectric grease prevent this from happening again? 3. The connectors on the capacitor below this are also badly corroded. Should I replace it as well?
