I have a KTJ302 and love it but I fear the thermostat is not working correctly. There is a 50/50 chance the coil is bad vs someone installing a bigger "tension spring" on the adjuster rod which is binding the works. I have a couple PMs out to guys on this forum with older stoves hoping they can help with photos of their thermostat parts to find out if the spring is wrong. I will post photos of my parts later when I get home.
However, if I need a new thermostat does anyone have any ideas of using a different part? I love this stove and don't want to replace it simply because I can't get a small piece like this. I'd buy a cheap unused stove to scrounge it's parts but don't see them for sale often enough to rely on that. Besides, it's cold outside NOW!
Thanks!
