Some more info from my recent repair ...no#3 for the hoses which also got one of the element thermal fuses too this time. I used 1/2" Pex and 90° couplings/rings this time as the orange tubes are too short now for that repair . You still need 1 1/2" inches of the rubber each end to reconnect to the machine at both ends. Pex Crimps work on the Rubber hoses too, no need for hose Clamps I found.
Note: I am not an electronics/electrical expert so feel free to add/correct the info from my notes below.
No formatting allowed here , so apologies if hard to read.
- need 2 THERMAL FUSES (240 degree C)
'''on existing''' = microtemp 6YGCQE / G4A00 /TF 240C =
Microtemp Thermal Cutoff; 240 C, 120 VAC, 15A
'''Equivalents:'''
- Thermodisc - G4A01240C
- NTE - NTE8242
- Newark - 30C5836
- GA401 = GA400 but with 2 long leads , GA400 has one long ,one short
- found locally at Electronic Parts Store ---
I replaced one after testing both for continuity ( used 200K setting = 0.05 if =1= DEAD )
- I Used (NEC?) SEFUSE _ SF240E 240°C ( 200° holding) Jet 250V 10Amp CO985
(came with crimps)
- DONT cut old fuse off tight to element , leave the old lead, it was WELDED not soldered to the element,
and trying to solder directly to element is difficult , use crimps if possible, as Solder heat may damage Fuse too if you get it to hot.
- Also :
- Element NTC Thermistor (small resistor under Clip with yellow wires) not replaced as working at this time.
- Used 2000k setting to test Resistance = 189 (should be around 200 at room temp)
- Inet Info: BC2467-ND (DigiKey # ) = NTCLG100E2224JB (Vishay?) 220k
