Determined that the problem with my waffle iron is the power switch, which was apparently not up to the demands placed on it by the engineers who designed the beast. Switch was totally burned out, which I missed at first thinking that the JH3001 was a solid state fuse, and not the SPST relay that it actually is. Am now wondering how heavy a switch I can put on the control board that acts as a user interface. Would like to stay with the same type of switch that it came with, but that may not be advisable. Anyone have any idea how much current a tiny (1/4" x 1/4" x 13/64" tall) snap-action switch might be able to handle? And where to get that heavier duty switch? Any help is appreciated. I'm wonderig if I will end up putting a standard push-button switch in its place and eliminate the plastic spacer that fills the void between the PC board and the outside world.
Thanks,
Dave
