I am hoping someone who knows more about electronics than me can help with this! I have a coffee maker that is operating erratically that I really like, plus I HATE throwing away perfectly good appliances that just need a simple fix. From what I have determined, I think the problem is a thermistor used to control the heating element. It is a glass encased thermistor that was covered with a plastic sleeve, inserted into a little heat sink, and then clamped to the side of the heating element tube. Further investigation found a forum that suggests this thermistor acts very much like a Vishay NTCLG100E22245B [220K Ohm] I have read the specs on that thermistor, but it doesn't really help me determine how I could cross reference that p/n to a different one - what are the important specs I would need to ask for at a local electronics store? Or would that part number suffice? |

These types of consumer items are designed with built in obsolescence and were never intended for repair when they fail---just go out and buy another. Unfortunately this is the current business model and it will be interesting to see how long it lasts. |

Thanks, I understand that model. I am just fighting against it. I picked up some of those thermistors and will see if it works! |
