ABSTRACT:
The immersion heater for an appliance includes a mounting plate, a metal sheathed electrical resistance heating element having two end portions which extend through and which are secured to the mounting plate, and a single fastening device for fixing the mounting plate to the body shell of the appliance. The fastening device comprises a threaded heat conductive stud secured to the mounting plate and a nut having a complementary thread. A raised part of the active portion of the heating element is directly secured to and only to the stud, such as by brazing. A bimetallic element is fixed directly to the stud on the outside of the body shell. The stud provides a heat conductive path between the heating element and the bimetallic element. The bimetallic element bends when the appliance is energized `dry` or when the liquid has boiled down to the element and pushes a dolly overcenter to open a pair of contacts and de-energize the heating element. The appliance is, preferably, an electric kettle provided with a further bimetallic element which switches off the kettle when water therein boils.
