I have a Mach 5 Cretors 32oz(I believe) floor model popcorn machine and the high limit thermostat in the "Cornditioner" keeps getting tripped. Might work for a few days, might only work for one.

Has anyone else dealt with this? Is there something I should do to fix it, or make it happen less often? It's not a huge problem to fix (just unscrewing a panel and pressing a button), but it's a pretty annoying.

I had the same thing happen in our Gold Medal machine several years ago. I simply replaced the thermostat. They are not expensive, and only have two wires. Ten minute job. Pull the existing thermostat and get the numbers off of it. Found mine on Amazon.

I had to replace one of those 'cornditioner" thermostats several years ago.
I can't remember if I got the replacement part direct from Cretors or
through a supplier, but it was easy to replace & also a good chance
to give the entire machine a good clean-out.

Just ordered the replacement, it was pretty cheap, like 22 bucks.
Thank you guys for your help.
