Let me first state that I just did 7 hours of research trying to solve this so I wouldn't have to be a noob asking for help. Especially if it turns out to be as simple as I hoped it would be. Either my brain has gone numb from too much Google or it isn't that simple.
Comfort Zone CZ220
It was given to me so I figured it's worth some effort. The problem was easy to spot. High Limit Switch. AuOne TC-306
My problems are that the previous owner disconnected all the wires and some apparently broke off. So I don't know where they go. There's a #12? Black from the elements (I'm guessing) that has a #16 Black pigged off 4" to a #16 Yellow that's pigged 4". All 3 connections have female connectors. There's a #16 Blue coming from the Caution light. There's a #14 Black coming from the power selection switch. Then there's a #12 Black coming from the thermostat and ties into a #16 Red coming from the other side of the Caution light. That's 6 connectors for a 2 prong HLS. I found a simplified schematic but, it doesn't show colors or much of anything.
The other problem is finding the HLS. I read that the 306 is an Auto with a rating of 140c to 160c and 25a. The closest I could find was a Supco L290. I'm just not sure if close is good enough. Should I be lower than OE ? Is higher okay ? I'm not one to push the limits when 240v is involved. I appreciate safety. I searched this forum for a couple hours but, no one talked about cross-references or a replacement for the 306. So many places have ones with close specs but, nothing specific enough to stop me from writing this book of a post.
So if someone could tell me where the 6 connections go and which HLS is compatible, would you please end my misery ? I've wasted my whole afternoon, evening, and night. Plus, seeing that it's after 1am now, I'll stay up for fear that I'll miss my 5am alarm for work. Yay !
