I have a black and decker paint stripper. It doesnt work.
There is one little electical part in it that could be a thermometer
that will either shut it off if it gets too hot or perhaps blow if it
gets to hot, Im not sure which.
Im trying to identify it so I can deduce how it should work. The part
is hard to see the numbers I can see are
Micro
4438A
XKAXM
I also see on the other side a number 228C. (there is a little window
so it picks up heat I asume from both sides of the asembly.)
Perhaps a big givaway is that part is shaped like a rocket eg ===> .
Insulated wire goes onto a rivet then a lead from the left side of the
part is physically wraped around the rivet. The right lead of the part
goes onto another rivet and then bare wire goes from there into the
heated part of the paint stripper then back out to a insulated lead
runing to the switch.
It's all really quite simple it just this part I dont know what it is,
so Im not sure how to test it.
