Crazy question. How do you know if the microswitch is working or not. No power at all to element or no temp control ?

In my case, no power at all to element or front indicator light. Then if I bypassed the microswitch (remove small yellow bridge wire and move green wire over to vacant spot in wiring block), it heated up right away.

OK, thanks Gary I was wondering if I was missing something. Funny about timing, guy at work as me if I wanted a bunch of microswitches as they were clearing house for inventory.

Just swapped my first switch and almost wiring on latest Caravel. Wow that switch is tiresome.
