Yesterday I replaced the thermostat in my wife's deep fryer with an American Range, model E-289. When I turned it on, there was a brief flash and it wouldn't get hot.
It's wired correctly I assume, unless it makes a difference on which wire goes from the thermostat to the heating element.
Is it possible that this E-289 is a 110V unit? I ordered it online, and the people there couldn't tell me what the voltage rating was, and I assumed it was designed for 220 Volts. I cannot find any specs for it online. Do you know?
Another thing; if the heating element is shot, or shorted out, will that cause the thermostat to short out also?
Help!!
