Aqua Controller Jr DC8 issue

Two of the outlets on my DC8 (#'s 5&6) that controlled my heaters have malfunctioned. I noticed just in time that my tank temp had dropped to 73, I saw that my heaters were off, I manually tried turning them on/off with the controller, nothing happened. When I test the outlets with my tester, in both the on and off positions, the tester shows 120volts. I tried plugging in a small lamp, nothing. Any ideas what the problem could be? Is it the outlet or controller? By the way all the other devices are working, daylights, moon lights refugium light.

Thanks

I'm sure it's your DC8 had that problem on mine

That issue is fixable. Just a couple dollars in parts if you have the know how.

Check this thread out. It's for the EB8 but the process is the same. Same parts will work also
