Re: baumatic BHD5 PCB
have checked ntc wiring back to pcb ?
had one of these where the thermal limiter used to pop every now and then. i put it down to loading (ie if a plate was stopping water cooling area around stat it would trip )
ntc could be fault dont know resistance but would make it overheat if it was faulty. my answer would be one of 2 things 1 buy a new ntc 2 think resistance goes down with temp so put a 10k resistor across it and see what happens (this is meant as a test not a repair )
