7.3.3Replacing the Heating Element

1.Drain the cookpot and disconnect the cooker from the electrical power supply. Disconnect the unit from the water supply at the rear of the cooker. Remove the basket lift arms from the unit.

2.Reposition the cooker to allow clear access to the rear of the unit. Remove the cabinet back (on units with basket lifts, remove all three back panels).

3.Unplug the 6-pin element connector from the rear of the contactor box. Depress the locking tabs on each side of the connector and extend it to release the element leads (see photo at right). Pull each of the leads out of the connector, being careful not to damage the connector in the process.

4.If the bundle of element leads is enclosed in a fiberglass insulating sheath, cut the wire ties securing the sheath in place, and remove and discard it; it is no longer required. Inside the cookpot, cut the metal wire ties that secure the high-limit thermostat to the element, being careful not to bend the thermostat in the process.

5.Remove the brass nuts that secure the element in the cookpot and lift the failed element from the cookpot. Recover the Teflon washers from the failed element for use on the replacement.

Remove these nuts to dismount

element from cookpot.

Standoffs

6.Position the replacement element in the cookpot with the standoffs on the bottom of the cookpot. Thread the element leads through the Teflon washers recovered from the failed element. Secure the element in place with the nuts removed in Step 5.

7.Secure the high-limit thermostat against the inside of the leg of the element with two metal wire ties.

8.Insert the pins on the element leads into the element connector in accordance with the illustration on the following page. Each element lead is marked with a number that corresponds to the hole in the connector into which it should be inserted. The insulation on the lead will be flush with the face of the plug when properly positioned. When all leads are positioned correctly, close the connector and verify that the tabs are locked in place.
