FUNCTION OF CENTER THERMOSTAT AND THERMALFUSE

A. Center Thermostat

The center thermostat senses when the bottom of the rice cooker pan reach 134°C ± 6°C.

And it’s action turns off the cooking cycle, and starts the warming cycle.

Refer to these ﬁgures showing the center thermostat construction and cooking position. As

the metal is heated, its ability to be attracted by the magnet decreases.

Finally, the inner spring pressure becomes stronger than the magnetic pull and the metal

and magnet will pop apart. The rod activates the switch lever which causes the auxiliary lever to

press the micro-switch button into the warming cycle.

B. Switch-On Preventive System

This is design to prevent the rice cooker from being turned on without the pan placed into

position.

1) Normally when the pan is inserted properly into the rice cooker, the pan will depress the

center thermostat. The center thermostat outer spring will be compressed. In this case when

the switch button is depressed, the following will happen:

a. The auxiliary lever will release the micro-switch button. This puts the micro-switch in the

cook position.

b. The switch lever will push the rod which will allow the magnet to meet with the metal.

c. When the rice is cooked and the proper temperature has been reached 134°C ± 6°C, the

metal and magnet will pop apart as described in the center thermostat operation above.

d. The rod will push the switch lever and cause the auxiliary lever to depress the micro-

switch button. This puts the micro-switch in the warming position.

2) When the pan is not in place within the rice cooker, the center thermostat is not depressed.

a. In this condition, the outer spring is not compressed within the center thermostat

preventing the metal from reaching its normal operating position.

b. When the switch button is depressed, the switch lever and auxiliary lever work as above

but the magnet cannot come in contact with the metal to hold the switch lever in the cook

position. This happens because the switch lever hits the thermostat case and cannot push

the rod, with the magnet attached, all they way up to meet with the metal.

c. When the pressure is taken off the switch button, the switch lever releases immediately to

the open or warm positions.

C. Thermal Fuse

The thermal fuse is used to open the circuit to the cooking heater when the temperature has

gone unusually high. This happens in cases such as incomplete contact between the heater

and pan or if the switch buttons is forced to stay on keeping the heater energized abnormally.

This fuse is not a resetting device and must be replaced after openning.

Whenever replacing the fuse make sure the protective cover is placed over all exposed wiring.

Cause of Fusion

[A] Improper contract between heater and pan

FUNCTION OF CENTER THERMOSTAT AND THERMALFUSE

[B] Forced application of current

Cause

Pan collar or deformed

Foreign matter adhering Body dented or deformed Pan bottom dented or

deformed

Heater surface deformed

or corroded

Remedy

Remove foreign matter

by of (-) screw-driver,

etc., and then polish with

= 320 water paper while

wetting it with water.

Repair or replace body. Replace pan. Replace cooking heater.

Cause

Chopstick, wooden

piece, etc. inserted onto

cooking button. (continu-

ous application of current)

Switch lever deformed

or maladjusted, causing

continuous application of

current.

Remedy

Inserted to prevent ear-

lier turning off? Refer to

cause in (a) above.

Repair or replace parts.

When fusion takes place, check the cause, set right the faulty section, and be sure to use

replacement parts.

4. TESTING PROCEDURE

1. Bubbling test

Input the pan in the main body, and lightly rotate the pan clockwise and counter clockwise

to set the pan on the heating plate properly.

1. Fill water until the center area of the pan bottom is dipped, and close the lid. Then turn

on the boiling switch.

2. When it beings boiling to produce steam, remove the lid and immediately check the

bubbling condition on the pan bottom.

3. Bubbling condition is shown in ﬁgure 3.

A. Bubbles generate through out the circumference of the pan bottom ............... Proper

B. Bubbles does not generate on more than one quater part of the pan bottom

circuference .................................................................................................. Improper

If it is improper, it may result from the insfﬁcient contact between the pan bottom and

the sheathed heater. Check the pan bottom and the sheathed heater for foreign material

remained. Clean up the foreign materials or replace the parts.

2. Evaporation test

1. After satisfactory bubbling is conﬁrmed, remove the lid and put a weight on the cooker.

2. Cover the entire pan bottom with 2 or 3 pieces of tissue paper (or gauze), and turn on

the switch subsequently.

3. The cooker is considered acceptable if the timing when steam generation comes to

a stop after water of the pan bottom has evaporated, is within 1 minute before and

after the cooking switch is turned off. If these requirements are not satisﬁed, check the

center thermostat as well as the contacted condition between the pan bottom and the

cooking heater, and then repair or replace the parts.

4. TESTING PROCEDURE

3. Boiling control lever adjustment

Such a mechanical operation as center thermostat goes up and down is used to turn on

and off the micro-switch. Check and adjust this relationship as shown below.

When the boiling switch is turned on. When the boiling switch is turned off.

Checking The auxiliary lever presses the push-

button (The “WARM” lamp comes on.)

The auxiliary lever does not press

the push-button (The “COOK” lamp

comes on.)

Adjusting To gain the above relationship, adjust the auxiliary lever by bending it with

long nose pliers.
