Popping plate not heating up
Remember the strirring rod connects to the motor, but the heating element connects via the two prongs in the rear, so the motor can run without the heating element turned on (turn on the base without the plate on...the motor runs fine). Try reattaching the plate...it needs a good connection to the connectors in the back. It should heat up pretty quickly. Also, if you put the heating pad in the dishwasher, make sure it is dry and that the contacts aren't tarnished.
I'm certain over time the contacts will get loose and the popper will stop working, but our is going fine after a year.
Also, be careful not to drop the base...lots of cheap, hard plastic that will break and rattle around.
won't heat up element is bad need a new one
can't find code or number to get replacement part
