My friend has an appliance that heats 2 cups of water for coffee or tea
that stopped working. The diagram of the appliance is such:
-------------------- -----------
Power cord >---------| Power switch & |--------| Unknown |
| Thermal cutoff? | -----------
-------------------- |
/------------------------+
| |
------------------ -----------------
| Neon Indicator | | Heating Coil |
------------------ -----------------
| |
Power cord <-----------------+------------------------/
I think the power switch has a thermal cutoff in it since the switch has
a metal can that is pressed against the bottom of the heating cup. The
unknown device reminds me of a high-current diode ( It is a cylinder with
radial leads ) that says:
Patented
Microtemp (R)
4333A1
SXPK169C
What is it and where can I get a replacement?
