Hi
Kanady.
Because of the nature of operation of this site, I
don't know who you spoke with before ... Everyone you encounter at this site is a volunteer, working when they want and, well, not working when they want, from their home, shop or workplace. I
don't know any of the other 14,000 plus question
askers.
Im
sorry you
didn't get a suitable response and I
don't know where the other question catcher sent you.
I have done a little research on this and I suggest you try here:
http://appliances.lovetoknow.com/Salton_Replacement_Parts
I
didn't see your product directly but believe if you send them a e-mail they will be able to assist you.
I suspect there is a problem with your safety interlock feature; something is not engaging allowing the device to power on.
Thanks for your question and good luck with your project.
Thanks for being a member ... let me how this
progress's.
A
