No heat at all most commonly used is just a burned wife connection in the kettle . I find that a lot of the time. To repair it you should use high temp nickel ring terminals. Standard ones won't last l long like these do. It might be time for a while new KETTLE wire set. Find a dealer in your area . They should help you determine what to do.

The most common reason is the THERMOSTAT is short cycling or turning off to soon. It could also be one of the elements is not working any longer if it is a kettle with more than one? You should find the small red inducator light and monitor it during a popping cycle. If it's going out early on in the cycle that indicates the thermostat has opened and not calling for heat. Depends on the model, you can adjust it or replace it. I suggest calling a Cretors dealer. http://www.cretors.com/dealer

On the Gold r unjust like the bigger units the smaller light that comes on when you turn the kettle switching tells you the thermostat is closed and it's heating. Monitor the popping cycle and see when it goes out . A common problem would be it's shutting off to soon so it's not getting enough heat to pop in the correct amount of time. If that's the case replace it. That one is not made to be ajusted. http://www.cretors.com/dealer

The heating element needs to be checked to see if it has power and if it has burned out. To do this, you need a meter that checks voltage and resistance. To test it, locate the connections to the heating element and with the machine unplugged test the heating coil with the meter set to measure resistance. It should not be infinite. IF it is then the coil is burned out.

The motor for a Gold Rush 6oz popper is #2429-A. It is available from any Cretors Distributor with a service dept. I don't think you can buy Cretors parts online anywhere. http://www.cretors.com/dealers.asp?i=16

First, if you have another cord like this one (for example, a coffee pot cord) plug it into the popper and see if it works.

If it's not the cord, it's probably a blown thermal fuse inside the unit. Could be a heating element broken as well. If you don't have appliance repair experience, I would take it to a repair shop.
