Hi @oxideblitz7283. Yes and no. Yes, it does click out so to reset it you need to push it in, but you probably won't visually be able to see any real difference is the switch. It won't be that you can walk past it and notice that it has tripped. When the switch needs to be reset, you only push it in a few mm, so it isn't that profound.
@@brewingadviceAh okay, I'm trying to find a new thermostat just struggling to find the specific one lol my air still after about 45 mins of use throws out the house power
@@oxideblitz7283 the thermostat shouldn't be the item that is causing the issue. The thermostat is just a switch that allows electricity to flow to the heating coil. If the thermostat gets too hot it will trip and electricity will stop flowing. A standard kitchen kettle works in the same way and has the same type of thermostat in it (all be-it slightly different size and temperature rating). The only difference is the kettle will auto-reset itself once the temperature goes below a set point. The Air Still needs to be manually reset (for safety). So, if you switch to a new thermostat, I don't think it will help you.
Legend, thankyou heaps for this video.
So that reset switch on the still, does it click out like it would on a power board ?
