[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 499799, member: 28452"] Yes. There was a disc type cutout in series with the element. I don't know if it was a "one shot" type, but probably. I see that as a last line of defence though, which should be more protection if the vents are covered. I just personally don't like an appliance which can switch itself on through a foreseeable fault condition, though it's presumably acceptable within the standards it was built to. I'm fairly sure this one had suffered a transient on the supply which had killed the triac and a couple of capacitors. [/QUOTE]
