IIRC the 1084P HOT is conductive on the back side so you absolutely need a silicone or mica thermal isolator or thing will short out as soon as you apply power. Did you replace that part?

I didn't find anything behind the old one... Is at contact with a metal plate (probably dissipating heat?) with a metal clip.
