I've never known the bimetal dome to fail on these, always the contacts

First with a soldering iron barrel , confirm by listening for a click
over, then repeat with a thermometer, glass or pyro.


It's open circuit, with a burnt spade terminal. Trust me, it's u/s.


But not the dome, hack into it and extract the dome.
Now not constrained, you need to make sure it does not fly off , when
it flips to the opposite state.
