DESCRIPTION:

If the limit switch has blown, it might appear black or gray upon inspection. Also, your appliance likely has lost some of its capabilities. Even if you restore power to the appliance by resetting its main circuit breakers, tripped by the limit switch, the appliance might not heat properly. Only after you replace the switch will all of the appliance's typical competences return. Don't replace the switch until you identify the reason your appliance overheated and caused the switch to trigger; otherwise the issue might happen again.
