    Relay help

    If you can wire it in, they are not critical physically , but the ratings same or better and coil voltage should be same M.

    AC adapter not working, strong burning smell

    The other thing with the linear is they usually are not regulated, they rely on the load of the component being fed to bring the voltage down to the correct value, or close to it. The SMPS are regulated closely. M.

    AC adapter not working, strong burning smell

    That appears to be one of the older linear power supplies, now they are virtually all SMPS. and has already been indicated quite cheap. If it has no output from the transformer secondary then it most likely does have a thermal fuse embedded in the winding, this was quite common on those...

    Temperature Controller for Oven

    The transistor is not critical, if referring to D2 then a 1n4005/7 would work.. M.

    Heater repair - mystery switch

    Looks like a thermal switch, used to protect overheating. I suspect there is not enough air flow and the element is overheating. When it opens the element cools and the thermal sw resets itself. M.

    24VDC Relay Driver switching 240VAC 10A Load

    Another solution is to use a contactor, these are traditionally a large form of a relay so it would be mounted separate to any PCCT board. M.

    By-pass cooker clock

    Co-incidentally I was given one of these yesterday http://www.thebay.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/thebay/the-smart-oven-pro-0128-bov845bss--24?site_refer=CSE_GGLPLA&gclid=CKnEioz9q9MCFQMxaQodVq4KNQ&gclsrc=aw.ds Front display worked but no heat. I think it would normally require a 3 day...

    One switch to turn on multiple sockets

    I use the industrial strength power bar principle. They are intended for garage or work area, they are square in shape instead of the strip of a normal P.B. Also there is a socket strip to go in front of work desks etc. M.

    By-pass cooker clock

    What i usually do in a case like this is to 'reverse engineer' the board, as much as possible, this gives a clue on what may be wrong and the items that can be tested. Draw out the schematic on paper. M.
