Re: Craftsman Electric Start malfunction

I pulled the sealed module off where the electric start plug in is located. After I wiggled it around and plugged it back in - presto it started. Unfortunately it didn't remain like that and the starting using the power cord was very intermittent.
I am not sure what is exactly inside this sealed power module that is wired into the starter. Either it has a faulty connector or will need to be replaced.
Has any one ever opened up these "sealed" modules where the cord plugs into?

Craftsman Electric Start malfunction

I have a four year old Sears Craftsman 9.5 HP 27" Two-Stage Power-Propelled Snow Thrower Model 944.524590. It was part of the Sears recall with the Briggs & Stratton OHV engine issues with the primer. I got the usual fix like everyone else. We have just come through a bitterly cold spell and I decided to use the electric start instead of the conventional recoil starter handle.
It finally engaged and started the Snow Thrower. The first few presses on the button did nothing.
I used it a couple of more times and finally the electric start seized up. The recoil starter handle works just fine. When I plug in the cord and press the starter button, nothing is happening. No response, noise or anything.
Where do you begin to look and is the electric start toast?
