Hey there.
I got a question. My heater just died and the only real way to fix it is to get a new thermostat but sadly I cant find the modell at all.
Now my question is I got a workaround but before I do so id like to ask if it will work.
There are 2 cables going to the thermostat. One is going from the power source to the thermostat the one at the bottom and the second one is going from the button that turns on the heater at the top. Now to get rid of the thermostat and let the heater go full power I should remove the cable from the thermostat that goes to the powersource ( the one on the bottom) and connect it with the one that goes to the button just above him right? On the first picture there is the thermostat from behind the above is the one going to the button and the one below to the power source.
Another question would be if I cant open the clamps as they are tight as hell. Would it be okay to just tape them together with heat resistant tape for the time being?
For some context. The little screw that was meant to connect I think to the bi-metal broke from its holding it was a plastic thin thingy.
