Putting on a replacement head and am not sure if my temp switch is trustworthy- looks pretty old. I would like to test it, but would like to know how they work first. My understanding is that there is material inside the switch that changes/lowers resistance as it heats, and when it gets hot enough it basically becomes conductive. Does this sound right? If so, is that material the black plastic looking stuff in the switch or the metallic stuff beneath it?
Thank you
