Guys any of you any experience is this field...
I bought a Doughnut machine from China (I know...). Anyway mechanically it's working fine but electrically it's not, the element is not heating up to cook the oil but everything else is working fine. I seemed to have tracked the fault back to the high limit stat as there is power going in but none coming out. The thermostat control also clicks at 300 degrees which is clearly not right so between the high limit stat and the thermostat lies the problem. I was going to try and replace the high limit stat with one from the boiler stat (spare one) but the one one the doughnut machine has a wire soldered from the element into it so that has me grounded and i also don't know if they'd be compatible...
Can any of you help out (you will be reimbursed for your time of course)
I hope that wasn't a bithday gift for the missus.

Is there a thermal cut out on the high limit stat?
Might just need to be reset.

Youd have to replace it with a high limit stat from a catering deep fat frier. Boiler stat wouldn't go high enough temp to fry the donuts. Bound to be able get something similar on line.

Yeah, fair point. Apparently they're sending me out new high limit stat and dial thermostat...
