I have A STAR 39 R-A popcorn machine.
I need to get replacement doors - the plexiglas is scratched and awful. I could also use a replacement for the plexiglass tray below the doors. Do you know a supplier?

First, check the circuit breaker to make sure it has not tripped. If it has, reset it and see if the kettle heats up. If it does not, then you may need to check the wiring to make sure it is connected properly. If the wiring is connected properly, then you may need to replace the heating element.
Star 59 is an 8oz popper, they stopped making them in 1992. Parts are becoming very expensive, usually better to dispose of the machine. I have some used parts available, depending on which ones you want, or you could try partstown.com for Star parts.
That model has a thermostat (also called a high limit) that is set at 450F. it should produce a popping cycle of 3 mins, and yes will burn popcorn if you don't dump it fairly quickly. The speed it heats cannot be too fast, there is only so many watts in the heat element. it may go to hot, but never to fast. The best way to test temp is time the 2nd popping cycle with a stop watch. the second batch should be 3 mins +/- 30 seconds. if it is 4 mins it is too cold. a 2 min popping cycle is to hot. A popper that is too cold is also popping poor quality popcorn, higher amount of unpopped kernels, and small chewy popcorn. Measure carfully when doing time test popping. That model is 2oz oil, 6oz popcorn, and 1 tsp salt. Start timing when you put ingredients in, and stop when you dump it. The kettle must be hot, that is why you time the 2nd batch.
That kettle is available from Partstown.com. They are a restaurant parts distributor. But be prepared, that part is in the $600.00 range. It generally is nor feasible to replace a kettle on that model.
Hi, I was able to find out that the Start 39 popcorn makers are 6 oz capacity. The star 86 models are 8 oz capacity. I could not find a model labeled "Star 59" Here is a link below to the manufacturer's website that should help you.
