I also did that bypass, and now it's working. (I hope this information will remain confidential ;) lol)
Your video was crucially helpful.
The way the thermal fuse is connected to the rest of circuit in your stove, is much more convenient, I should say...
As a safety I decided that I will use it only to mid power...These kind of stoves are not ideal for boiling water and cooking spaghetti, but for other types of cooking they are useful.
Ps. After Bypassing the thermal fuse, the thermostat will keep on working just fine, because it is just that bimetallic assembly integrated with the switch...it is interesting how it works.
It's good to keep something working.
@@bootsowen yes, I agree
I will never understand why manufacturers do not make hot plates that get hot enough to boil water, without by passing the thermostat.
Even the most expensive one I have found will still not boil water.
Sometimes a new one will boil until it gets broken in and then it quits.
Possibly they are manufactured at altitude where water boils at a lower temperature. I have one of these and yes it's super annoying. It stops just short. With the right pot and a lid it actually simmers
the thermal fuse is like any fuse. it gets blown by use. If you want the cooker heats to maximum then by pass the thermostat next to the switch. It will be useful to get most of the power of hot plate and you will be able to boil water.
You ROCK! Thank you for taking the time. You saved me at least 20 euro.
Glad I could help! don't forget "superthanks"
Mine (thermal fuse) is attached to the cable with a crimp, what can I do if I find a spare one to install it without crimping?
Cheers just ordered a pair on eBay for £2.45 including delivery 👍😁 my one lasted 4 months from new. I went for 285 °C ones.
Nice one!
Hard to imagine how they can make a profit at that price!
I suspect that the thermal fuse of your second stove (in the video at 6:49) was under the second black rubber "envelope". The one on the right there.
However, it has to be somewhere.
Could be
Can you ELI5 What was that about using the multi tester with one hand to avoid arcing to ground?
At what point in the video?
Over temp thermal fuse,
If the thermostat gets stuck on, it will start a fire without overtemp.
I can't imagine that it would go on fire by itself! It will get hot, if it is on a stone slab it will probably be fine. If it is on a bed of straw then could be dangerous. All of these things have a warning not to leave unattended. Do you worry about fire?
The thermostat does not direct contact with heater plate make me nervous.
What is the thermal capacity or value, and if I canceled it and directly connected the circuit, is there any damager of damaging the heaterplate ?
I am afraid that I don't know the thermal fuse value. If you wire it directly there is a risk that if the thermostat malfunctions it will heat to a temperature hotter than it was designed for. Possibly a fire hazard.
I have the same problem. Cheap junk thing. But feel like fixing it for the workshop. Do you have any conclusion to what you did to it..thanks
I Just bypassed the thermal fuse, and it works. but it could overheat and blow the element in the plate. what did I do in the video?
@@bootsowen Actually I opened it up. It’s got some points system like a car with a primitive piece of metal that is acting as the thermostat when it gets hot. I put a normal on off switch on it. I was thinking to wrap the thermostat in Some heat repellent. Same as asbestos type. Some thing. To keep it cooler. So it doesn’t which off as soon.But the switch works for now. And it’s a piece of junk anyway. Just got to keep my ion it. Thanks for the reply.
10a thermal fuse about £1.50 on eBay 👍
i have also single stove electric no light no power what is the posible damage
Have you checked what I have shown in this video?
Can you determine whether a different kind of fuse will work and wire it in? Dumb right?
Why do you need a fuse?
You need a thermal fuse for a certain temperature. Or you don’t. It depends on how brave you are.
Heat up to infinity & beyond. Lol
How dangerous is it?
Very
Same problem i have
When i remove thermal fuse then it work or not???
Did you watch the video?
@@bootsowen yes i did see and it’s working fine mine but I have a question that when i use this then its will get a shock or not??
Thats a different question, if you dabble with electrical item then good luck. I can't advise you.
@@bootsowen ok thank you
maybe a fuse,,
it's good that YOU know what you're doing but you're not explaining anything to people who don't know and are trying to fix one.
What bit don't you understand and I can try and help you here?
Not to be rude or a jerk but honestly, if you can’t understand or deduce what is going on you probably have no business messing around with the internal components of anything electrical. Especially something that’s pretty much a direct ground; like a hot plate that can pull as much power as the breaker will allow or until it trips. You could be seriously hurt or hurt someone else. There are plenty of classes you can take online or classes that have been posted on CZcams you can take advantage of so you can get a better grasp of the individual electrical components typically found inside our everyday items so fixing them is not only less aggravating but safer and easier for you to troubleshoot.
Repairing them is the easy part, now try designing a PCB, lol, thats on a whole other lvl. Lol

I don't know any man who's never opened up some device that he knows nothing about, trying to figure out why it has stopped working, dangerous or not.
If remove the thermal fuse, it will continue to heat instead of maintaining a constant temperature, right ？so it this safe?
Probably not safe. But a fire will keep getting hotter and hotter if you don’t regulate it. If you have no other option and can take responsibility for your own life solutions like that can help
