Thank you for the lead -- I will call these people tomorrow!
The "heat sink" my friend showed me was smaller than a quarter or even a dime, but the top of it was round. I am hoping the company you referred me to will be able to provide one, either alone or as part of a kit. The repairman said the heat sink was necessary in order for the thermostat to work; otherwise it doesn't turn off (apparently, not even if the room is warm enough!) and the unit can overheat and start a fire. My friend wired the heater to bypass the thermostat, but now I have to babysit the unit by unplugging it every so often so it can cool down.
So it's a good question what a heat sink is! (I'd thought of them only in connection with computers.) I only hope it will be possible to get one for my make and model. It's an Intertherm, but I haven't been able to find the model number on it.
Blessings! |
