So now I have an extra thermostat. Parts are pricey, but not as pricey as a new dehydrator!

Finally the bulb lit! The heater is no longer working...only the fan. What would you do in this situation? Unit is less than 2 years old. I'd say moderate use. (Sending unit back to Excal is probably more than I can manage physically.) Thanks goodness I had completed most of my holiday dehydrating.
