Abstract: An electrical heating arrangement (2) includes a temperature sensor assembly which comprises a housing member (34) mounted on, and extending partially across, a heater (12). The housing (34) has a first end region (36) in spaced relationship with an electric heating element (20), and a second end region (38) which traverses and extends externally of a peripheral wall (18). A first temperature-sensitive electrical element (52) is provided at the first end region (36) of the housing (34) and first electrical leads (54) extend to the second end region (38) of the housing (34). A layer (58) of thermal insulation material is provided and a second temperature-sensitive electrical element (60) overlies the layer (58). The second element (60) is provided at the first end region (36) of the housing (34) and second electrical leads (62) extend to the second end region (38) of the housing (34).

Abstract: A temperature sensor assembly (30) is provided for an electrical heating arrangement (2). The temperature sensor assembly (30) includes a substrate (32) located in a heater (12). The substrate (32) has an upper surface (38) in contact with the lower surface (10) of a cooking plate (4). The upper and/or lower surface or surfaces (38, 66) of the substrate (32) is provided with a first temperature-sensitive resistance element (40) at a first region (42) of the substrate (32) proximate a peripheral region (34) of the heater. The upper (38) and/or lower (66) surface or surfaces of the substrate (32) is or are provided with a second temperature-sensitive resistance element (54; 54A; 54B) at a second region (56) of the substrate (32) proximate the central region (36) of the heater.
