Overheat cut off sensor - help!

Post by spendog »

I've just got my hands on a remotron cab heater but the overheat cut off sensor is clearly knackered and has been bypassed.

Obviously I'd prefer to have one fitted but google hasn't thrown up any ideas as to where I could get a new one.

If anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful!

Cheers!

Can't find anything for those numbers - is there a temperature rating stamped in the aluminium contact face? Failing that - Webasto heaters use 170 degree ones so one at that temp or lower would be OK I should have thought. Easily available.
You do realize that these heaters are positively ancient now and would need a complete overhaul to be safe - if you could get spares/gaskets for something that was manufactured in the 1970's.

Thanks for looking for me - I appreciate it.

Nothing on the casing so I think I will follow your advice and use a webasto one. And I take your point about old heaters.... all the more reason to have a sensor fitted!
