Find the schematic and post. An LED or regular 12 volt bulb could be placed to light up when the heating element is turned off just by connecting it to the return path of the T-stat snap disc.
When the T-stat removes voltage to the whatever device it controls, it could make the light go out, or on depending on how wired.
No indication of the actual temp, just an indication of the element being told to turn on. It could work on gas too.
A lighted switch if not already lit could be used. Light on = element off and water is hot for example.
