If you already have a new heating element, then the switch is the
thing that would keeo it at a temperature that is different from what
is desired. Watch the repairman and learn everything that you can, it
won't hurt to ask a few simple questions that don't delay the
repairman, that's how most of us on this group ggot started. IT's
great to have a woman or two on this group. Their reasning powers are
the same as for men, it is just their upbringing in most cases tends
to steer them away from being electrically and mechanically handy.

My daughter spent a day or so helping me change the head on the motor
on her Ford Pinto many years ago, she now is not cowed by problems
with her car, she knows what she can do and what it is advisable to
leave to specialists.
