Thanks Jeff...you hit the nail on the head. I played around with it
and set the temperature higher and you could then hear the compressor
turn off. I then set the temperature lower, the compressor came on
and then I could hear that pump turn on as well. (Don't tell my wife
though because she was asking if it was the water pump after she read
the manual :-o )
