Yeah, well out of warranty anyway. I have added a temp probe near the button sensor you described previously to measure bean temp instead of environment temp--as an aside, what a HUGE difference that made in my roasting! Feel like I was blind before.
Back to the question at hand, I don't understand how a switch inline there would help. If it was open, would it make the machine think it was cold, i.e. no signal from the sensor?
