I don't know anything about the Calypso, but it is perfectly normal for heatsinks to be live on lots and lots of appliances. Chris. | ||

Live Heatsinks Are quite common. UK Hoover machines had live heatsinks. | ||

The heatsinks on the calypso control boards are live. So do the smart thing, please, and disconnect the machine before you work on it. You run the risk of not only killing yourself, but short circuiting the control board. | ||

As much as the lands of 220v complain about 110v, you are still alive to talk about it............... | ||
