hey, i know this is old, but what does the backside of that compressor look like? we moved recently and our movers damaged my compressor. i think whomever had the compressor before my used a pipe ****** and a cap (as a plug)and that was broken off but i want to be sure it doesn't need to be a...

i've got a modine hot dawg hd75 with a hot wire ignitor (as opposed to spark ignitor). it will start burning then after 7-10 seconds stop. i have removed the flame sensor and cleaned it with sand paper but i'm still getting the same results. i'm leaning towards a flame sensor. home depot has a...
