    If the element is OC then replace it? 😕 Surely you’ve done the troubleshooting yourself?

    yeah i checked em , but they are on a silver cardboard strip and i checked the stats too and they dont show any continuity , so do i replace both ?

    what i’m saying is , will the elements heat even though the stats are blown ? surely the power still goes to the elements and they should heat , if the stats are blown the temp will not be regulated and they will keep heating , is this right ? or does the power go through one stat first if thats ok then it heats the element and power goes back out through the other stat which regulates the temperature ?thanks

    if u genuinly have checked for continuity , then youd know

    and no, the element isnt independent of the stats

    cos if they worked the way you say, it would set on fire

    its usually the cut iout over the heater that goes
