Re: [DML] Thermo Time Switch



I have never heard of a time-temperature switch being damaged due to
excessive heat. However based on your test results it appears that your
switch may be defective. This part is not very expensive; why not replace it
and keep it as a spare if its replacement does not correct the problem.
