[@mirdeu4687]

did you, by any chance measure the resistance of the thermal element at the soldering iron? mine stopped working took it apart.the nichrome wire was burned somewhere .Im trying to figure out what resistance value should i put in the end so not to mess things up

So, shit iron? Mine just stopped heating. I gather I shouldn't bother with repair, should I?

[@crazygeorgelincoln]

If you like using it,and it's just the internal fuse that's gone .it could be easily bridged,( provided there's a 3 amp fuse in the plug and the circuit is RCD protected ) I'm still considering trying the control unit as a temperature regulator for one of my basic irons
