What should the temperature of a heated mirror be?
To do that, use an infrared thermometer. Measure the temperature of the glass before and after it’s turned on. Again, there’s no right or wrong answer but you should see the temperature rise. For us, the measurements were 9.5 degrees Celsius before and 24.9 after. That’s it! Fix confirmed! I hope it helps!
