Stanley Superstar 95 Solid Fuel

    Hi,

    I have a question regarding the stanley superstar 95 solid fuel range.
    The thermostat wire broke in it's exposed part near the hinge area in the ashtray door area.

    Some wires were cobble together to join the parts open again but since this the cooker failed to heat radiators as good as it used to. I suspect the thermostat was being used manually but with little working knowledge of it's function.

    I recently soldered a wire joining the borken parts to create a more "permenant solution" without the need for buying a new thermostat. I then proceeded to leave the thermostat know at auto 5. This did seem to heat the radiators much better.

    My question is was this a good idea/did it make a difference? Does the thermostat flap move to close itself when on automatic because it doesn't seem to now or for a long time?

    The "wires" are actually capillary tubes and cannot be repaired, without them you have no control over air flap on dampers and so burning rate is uncontrolled.

    will the boiler work properly though if the manual seeting is used instead on the termostat or will the full unit need to be replaced?
