How do you know when a thermostat goes bad? Is there a meter reading?
@n8yrn Oh cool! I have heard the guys talking about this on machines but
didn’t know they were so similar, functionally. – Kat
@Jabbawack Glad you liked it! – Kat
very interesting, thanks!
These look identical to over temperature switches and do a similar but
different job. Overtemp switches kickout over a certain temp just like
thermostat but once it is tripped it is done… You wind up replacing the
overtemp switch once it is triggered. This is a protection piece (like a
circuit breaker) in many coffee machines and espresso machines in case of a
“thermal event”. Just my 2 cents on your dime 😉 Nice interesting way to
show some of the internals… THANKS!!!
@MrMarkBartlett Thank you for sharing that with folks!! Much appreciated 🙂
