Expert Review
Daniel Foster Catering Equipment Maintenance Expert
Expert Review
If your bain marie is either not heating at all or getting far too hot, this temperature limiter is often the culprit. It’s a vital safety component that cuts the power if the main thermostat fails. For a qualified engineer, this is a quick and simple swap that will get your unit back in service safely and efficiently.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always disconnect the appliance from the mains power first.
- Ensure all wiring connections are secure upon installation.
- We recommend installation by a qualified technician for safety.
- Test the bain marie's heating cycle after fitting the part.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if the temperature limiter needs replacing?
A: Common symptoms are the bain marie failing to heat up or, more seriously, overheating without cutting out.
Q: Is this part difficult to install?
A: For safety and to ensure correct fitting, all electrical components should be installed by a qualified commercial catering engineer.
Q: Will this fit any other Buffalo bain marie?
A: No, the AS429 limiter is specifically designed as a direct replacement for the Buffalo FU291 model only.
