Jumper the thermostat connector on the IH Inverter board. If the machine then works, the thermostat located on the IH coil is tripped. The last I heard, Ricoh does not sell just the thermostat. You have to replace the entire IH coil assembly.
If you need it up and running quickly, put some blu-tac on the stat and pull it off quickly. That will reset it so it's dome-shaped again, but it won't last long.
It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

That's a damn good idea, TM. Only have to pull the coil once at replacement.

It's gotten me out of the poop a few times.
I tried it once. Didn't work. I had to bypass the stat at the connector on the inverter while I waited for a new coil.

Do that around here and your be looking for a new job by the end of the day! Bodging or bypassing safety systems is a big no-no that will get you more then a smack on the wrist if something goes wrong.
At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.
