| 493090 | 2006-10-24 03:42:00 | I don't think its a simmerstat problem, that would stay put when you swapped elements. It sounds like a wiring issue, like a burned out connection removing a return path, or possible two wires welded together after an insulation failure. Whatever it is, I'd get it checked by an electrican or appliance serviceman. It is certainly unusual, and not easily explained by any normal failure pattern that I can think of. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
