I know I may be mad but I want to repair my on board 240v charger. I think the coil over temperature sensor has failed ( if I short it out the charger works ) does any one know what temperature these are set to work at ?

Thanks in advance

I've got a complete faulty one I was keeping for spares....fancy making me an offer?....

In sure there was a thread by Calafornia Dreaming about repairing heat sensor.

I could be completely wrong of course!!

You could just go with a good guesstimation, 90 degrees C perhaps would be a safe bet ?

Mine was just the little glass fuse

As you have probably already discovered, the BBB hasn't got any active cooling fan and does get pretty warm in operation. To ensure that things don't get to 'melting point' a thermal fuse was built into the circuit as per link.

The common failures on these are: the small glass fuse and or, the thermal fuse..both cost pennies to replace.
The supplied link tells you everything you need to know.
