PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE ACTION
A low amperage reading
may indicate a problem in
the kettle.
One or more of the heat
elements may not be
functioning properly. If the
element is not functioning,
the possible causes are:
1. The element has burned
out.
2. A lead wire has burned
off one of the element
terminals due to a loose
connection.
In either case the kettle must
be removed and the problem
identified.
1. Remove kettle. (See
section Kettle Removal
for instructions.)
2. Check for short circuits
inside the kettle.
3. If wires must be
replaced, be sure to use
nickel wire supplied by
Cretors. Conventional
copper or “stove” wire
will have limited life.
4. Make a visual check for
broken, loose, burned or
heat damaged wires. If
there are no obvious
broken or loose wires
shorting out on the
kettle, the elements must
be checked.
5. Perform a continuity test
on the elements. It is
possible that one of the
elements has burned
through the insulation
and the casing is
shorting out directly to
the kettle bottom.
Continuity Test and Ohms Test
When checking Ohms, make sure that the meter probes are making good contact on the
terminals. Remove the nickel buss bars that connect the electrical terminals on the heat
elements.
Using a multimeter, check each element between the following points:
Terminal to terminal Ohm readings should match chart listed
below.
If Ohm readings are not close, replace.
First terminal to element case Continuity to case from terminal indicates a
grounded element; replace.
No continuity – functioning properly.
