Hi there

I'm pretty sure of the connections so in theory just swapping out the thermal switch will be sufficient. I will have a look and see if there is a hotter switch - maybe 170 C. The only other thought I had is fitting a dimmer switch in the motor line to slow it down so more of the heat is transfered. If that isn't feasable then a PWM relay inline to do the same.
