Blowing a fuse caused this machine to stop working a few years ago. I’d like to repair it but too it apart to find there was no visible damage and a multi meter show current at the element’s connection points. Could I have damaged the AC cable, and if so how can I test this before cutting and soldering a new one on?
@subdj no damage to the AC cord if you “show current at the element’s connection points.“ Measure voltages going to the heating element after you measure the resistance of the element (unplugged of course) and check the thermistor/fuses in the circuitry. Since you have it taken apart, post some good pictures of everything with your question. That way we can see what you see. Adding images to an existing question You would test the AC cord with an ohmmeter. One probe to one prong of the plague and test the end with the other prong. You should only show continuity on the cable end that directly relates to the prong of the plug. If you have continuity on all off them you have a shorted wire
Please tell us what the amperage of this machine is and were any other appliances running on the same circuit in your kitchen when you turned it on. Also, did it blown the circuit immediately or did it take a little while? Amperage of the machine would be marked on the botton of the appliance. Some kitchen circuits only have a 15 AMP breaker and a TV, dishwasher and a fridge can blow it. Microwaves are big AMP matters also.
