Find a new heater element for my Popcorn maker

Check the heater element,..google the model on common troubles on this model.
you may need a replacement.

Old popcorn is the first thing to check, and that you are measuring correctly. 12oz of popcorn is the correct amount in a 3 min popping cycle. always time the 2nd batch.

That model popper has 2 heat elements, and 2 thermo stats that control them. If the first 2 things to check are good, then you dropped a thermo stat or heater and it is operating on 1 heater instead of 2.

Double check that the kettle is plugged into cabinet.
Does the Switch light up? if not it is the switch is bad.
If it does, than either it is the kettle lead wires, or themostat, or the heat element that is bad. In that order.

Not familiar with the model but my best guess would be it needs a new heating element.

First, if you have another cord like this one (for example, a coffee pot cord) plug it into the popper and see if it works.

If it's not the cord, it's probably a blown thermal fuse inside the unit. Could be a heating element broken as well. If you don't have appliance repair experience, I would take it to a repair shop.

The heating element has burnt out or is defective! return for repair or if you have recipt a new one!

Hi kevin,

 

With the ground already hooked up, it does not matter which terminal you hook the X or Y too on the heater. The heater is AC and a resistive load.  This means it doesnot have polarity, and will work both ways.   You done good getting high temp connectors, do you have high temp wire?

most likely the thermal fuse blew... Ohm it out and if its open then replace it. Take yours off, take it to your local Radio Shack
