if the UTH is too hot you can wire it thru a dimmer switch and use that to dial the temps down.
you will need:
single pole dimmer switch 6$
blue plastic receptacle housing 2$
roll of electric tape 1$
wire strippers, screwdriver and wire nuts (the dimmer I bought came with some)
replacement lamp cord 2$, not necessary but if you need a longer cord than original get one.
unplug your UTH and cut the cord in half in the middle. strip all 4 ends back 1/4" . drill a hole in each side of the plastic housing just big enough for cord to go thru. pull both cut ends into the holes you drilled. use the wire nut to splice the hot wires (appliance cords are usually flat with 2 wires, hot and neutral, the neutral is always the side with ribbed insulation, hot side is smooth) the dimmer will have 2 black wires and 1 green, cap the green, and splice both hot ends of the UTH cable to each black wire of dimmer. doesn't matter which. the ribbed neutral side can just be spliced back together with a wire but. wrap the splices with black tape. screw the dimmer into the plastic housing and wrap black tape around it if u want. plug it back in and turn it all the way to one side, then take temp and keep adjusting til you get it right.
