Guys need some help, last night I decide to give my stove a good cleaning, I took the back off the stove and vacuumed cleaned the brushed inside the blower motor, and just did a major cleaning, pipes etc. However while vacuuming I broke the T1 sensor, it broke completely off. The book I have only has a block diagram and does not really say what this sensor is. I am guessing it is the over temperature sensor, but I am not 100 percent sure of that. What I am hoping is that they label the sensor, the same on other models of stoves. I did fire the stove up and it has run about two hours, without a problem so far. But I am going to call the manufactory the first thing on Monday and get a replacement part. I am just wondering if this is the high Temperature sensor would there be any danger of running the stove on the lowest setting until I got the replacement part. Or should I not run the stove at all?
 
I downloaded the freely available manual but it doesn't show enough information and the technical manual is only available to service reps of dealers and customers .

Standard practice is to circumvent a safety (a sensor device is a safety) only to isolate a problem.

You shouldn't run a stove with a circumvented or disabled safety device.

That would be how the folks that determine who gets the Darwin Award get their candidates.
