          I've had the thermopile cause this issue.
          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.

          Hit it.

              Check the thermostat's with a multi-meter for continuity. If you find one it's an easy fix of smacking it against a hard surface to reset the coil inside.....but I didn't tell you this

                  Who's Heather?

                  She sounds hot.

                      Try that in my shop FMC and you'll be looking for a new job! Thermostats are designed as a one shot device and tampering with them opens up a large can of workplace health and safety laws.

                          Don't ever reset them Thermostats! Not worth causing a fire.

                              You're obsessed with piles.

                                  That's fuckin terrible advice. $15 thermo Vs. Office fire and no job? I'll spend the bosses money on the part thanks.

                                      What a load of rubbish, I guess the other 3 thermostats wouldn't pop. And ad for it causing a fire don't talk rubbish.

                                                  I can't recall how many piles I've resetted - none of them catched fire

                                                  I agree that there might have been a certain risk performing this procedure with older machines that might have no or only one backup mechanism. But todays fusing units are designed by very extraordinary paranoid engineers, proving backup mechanisms for backup mechanisms - I totally would have no scruple resetting one pile out of a set of.. 4 or more.

                                                      Nor would I, when there's a set of them to back up one weakened one.

                                                      Think of it as a pride of lions, except they're shitty lions made by Ricoh.
