Disclaimer: Unless you REALLY know what you're doing (and assume all risks), ignore the rest of this review.
Being a retired engineer, I played a hunch and guessed that an electrolytic cap had failed. I opened the unit up and replaced the 47uf 50V timing cap. The old one was open. Now it's working again.
Others have noted the warm case and constant power drain. This is due to transformerless low voltage power supply circuit that feeds the nominal 5V to the 555(?) based trigger circuit. There is a 1W power resistor/zener diode regulator that has to drop the rectified 120V down to 5V. Maybe in the future a newer model will have some passive vent slots so that the caps are not getting baked in the case.
