Test the thermal cutoff switch

If you do not need to test the thermal cutoff switch, skip this step.
This step will require a multimeter. If you aren't familiar with how to use one, here is a guide that will help you.
With the thermal cutoff switch disconnected, you can check it for continuity. It should show continuity (less than 1 Ω) at room temperature.
If it shows OL or anything above 1 Ω, replace it.
