Be very careful with the Wago connections on circuit board

Unfortunately on my 2015 Grandee NXT the 10 ga wires from the heater are terminated into Wago stackable pcb terminals. The plastic in these terminals is not very strong and the spring clamps inside , are which is a good thing, you certainly don’t want the wire coming out. That said you need a screwdriver blade that is precisely the right blade size in order to spread open the clamp to its maximum opening to accept 10 ga wire, on the smaller gage terminals it’s some what easier.
I went to DigiKey and located the connectors I needed and purchase a couple extra just in case. I also purchased their special tool used to use these terminals. Surprisingly affordable.
I had to remove circuit board and desolder the broken terminal and replace it. You need to use a high amount of heat on the soldered pins as the clamp kind of acts as a heat sink so just be careful. None of this is Back Yards Plus fault. I’d prefer spade terminal connection that the heater comes with instead of the Wago.

Works perfectly!

This was a fairly easily part to put in. My advice is that if your tubes connected to the heater are cold or old, heat them up with a heat gun to remove from old heater.
