I have a Breckwell P241 that has a broken auger thermodisc. The plastic disc part came out of it’s metal support. The support is what attaches to the stove. I bought a new limit switch that looks nothing like the original. I had to buy an adapter plate that would allow me to attach the new disc to the old holes in the stove.
I installed the new switch but now when I turn on my power strip that the stove is plugged into, the stove starts up, even if the ON/OFF switch on the stove is turned OFF. I switched the leads to the switch but it didn’t make any difference.
I had this same thing happen with the old broken disc. If the plastic part of the switch was out of the metal support, the stove would start up. If I put the plastic part back into the support the stove would stop any only start when the ON/OFF switch was turned ON.
It doesn’t make any sense to me but hopefully someone knows what’s going on.
I applied a little RTV to the old plastic part and attached it the old support hoping it will keep it in place. So if I can’t find a solution with the new switch I’ll try this modified version of the old switch and see what happens.
