Wanted: 140c Thermal cut-out switch for Buffalo Boiler - Manchester

[rossydoodle]

Hi all,

I'll be needing one of these in a couple of days and just wondered if anyone around the Manchester area happened to have one lying around?

I can order one from China, which is fine, but just thought I'd check here first for the sake of ease and speed.

I can collect.

Thanks in advance,

Ross

Or if anyone can recommend a UK supplier so I don't have to get something so small sent all the way from China, that would be appreciated too.

Try Ebay number 151084725893.
CPC, a Farnell company, have these. If you search for Thermal cutout switch. Most are auto reset without the bbutton

Personally I would remove both the cut out and the fuse completely. I did the replacement myself and still had issues afterwards but now are out completely it works like a dream!

If I was to go down this route, do I just need to bypass using a ceramic connector for each bypass?

I.e, one for the thermal fuse and one for the cutout?

Something like this : http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/produ...elEZUuZR27cwCOInl3vZ6Q4YrlUVgGbqQOBoCQWTw_wcB

Or this: http://cpc.farnell.com/1/1/1833--cpo-15a-3w-ceramic-terminal-3way-15a.html

I'm assuming a 15A rated one would be fine?

Yep that's how I did it.

Thanks. Will go straight to this route if the planned upgrades still cause issues.
