how reliable a dimmer switch is?

[Guest guest]

just a question about the dimmer switch again, has anyone found that it would

cause the yougurt maker to burn out, or cause any fires? those who use this

cord, how safe is it?

thanks

you must get the dimmer switch to control the yougurt maker

temperature. Go to a lighting store. It's just a long cord with a

plug and a control dial, about $18. You must fiddle with it and

take the temp of the yogurt often to find out where to keep the

dial. Good luck.

It's a nightmare to get him to try and eat it. He's so good about

the diet being only 7 yrs old - he turns down illegals and really

has such a good attitude, I just can't bear to force him to do the

intro. We already do mostly protein as it is.... the S Boulardi he

has never tolerated as we tried that and I'm scared of our yogurt

maker - we think it's over heating the yogurt. The first batch I

suspected was too hot ended up being fine but the last one seemed to

bother both kids though it took some time for the flare to come

about. My dh dripped that batch so I didn't take the temp so I

really don't know if it was bad or not, but it was kind of runny. I

shouldn't have let my kids eat it.

I use the dimmer switch and love it. I don't have to worry about temp. anymore.

I would think it would be less likely to burn the yogurt maker out because it's

keeping it from getting too hot. The dimmer switch works by lowering the power

to the machine.

Hi,

Great to hear the dimmer switch is worth it. I spoke with a an electrician,

and he said that you have to check how many watts your yogurt maker has. ( If it

is in amps you need to multiply that number by 120) Then when you buy your

dimmer switch you just have to make sure that the dimmer switch has more watts

than your yogurt maker. This would make it safe. Otherwise if your machine has

more watts than the switch has you could burn out the machine, or start a fire.

I thought I'd just explain this for those of you like me who was skeptical about

burning the house down, and has no idea about electric things!

Hi, Sandy,

I wondered about this, too. Then I saw that the dimmer switch at

www.lampsplus.com dims up to 300 watts (don't know about the ones at

Home Depot) and my yogurt maker is 9 watts. So although it's a good

idea to check, it's probably not an issue.
