Hi All,
I took Miss Silvia on a family holdiay in January. She was doing great until the kettle and toaster were on at the same time and tripped the safety switch. Once the switch was reset, Little Miss slowly cooled down and wouldnt get hot again. I was hoping that it was just the safety thermostat that had come on, but when I opened her up the little red button hadnt popped out.
Ive read quite a few forums to see if anyones had the same problem, and there are a few out there. Typically the problem seems to be the thermostats, which apparently you check with a multimeter. Im really hoping that it isnt the heating element, because that would be a bit pricey to fix. I did read somewhere that if the element is gone then white powdery stuff will come out with a blank shot.
My multimeter off ebay arrived today, but Ive got no idea how to use it to check if the thermostats are ok. Ive done some googling, but to no avail. Can anyone help me please?
Thx,
Adrian
