alfizta 6 Report post Posted May 7, 2014 tested it. it does not go through. maybe the stat was not stuck but just opening too soon, about 65 ºC... with the new one temp gauge is steady above 80 ºC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joss 9 Report post Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) The fact you have changed it and it now reads a better temp would suggest the old one was faulty Edited May 8, 2014 by Joss 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alfizta 6 Report post Posted May 13, 2014 also thought of heating water on a pot with the thermostat and a temp gauge inside, but don't have the gauge, so... that's another time... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
