Hi @mt_geek

If a new unit is defective (or any unit inside warranty term), please contact your dealer for a solution.

What makes you think the capacitor is bad?

when I first turned on I started to smell that smell of a blown electrolyte capacitor. I am working with the Dealer but it is $936 to ship it to a repair center

@mt_geek

It's hard to judge from here what the smell is / was... ('new car smell?')

Does the unit function normally? what is the reason you think it is not functioning well?

Hi Daniël Thank you so much for all your help. I found out was going on. the Minimum assist power is 1600 watts on the 15k Quattro and 200 watts on the 5k Quattro. S I am going back to the 5k and manually switch to the 15k when needed thanks again.
