Nostalgia Electrics KPM-508 Popcorn Maker - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Not replaceable, but you know that.

That is a thermostat. it should have continuity at room temp, and open at popcorn popping temps. There are no replacement parts for this manufacturer.

The thermostat built into the kettle stops the kettle from heating at a prescribed temperature. usually around 425 F. This is hot enough to smoke and cause instant burns, but is the required temp for popping popcorn. I do not know of a "thermal fuse" built into popcorn machines. Mechanical thermo stats are not flawless. they can and do malfunction, either too cold or too hot. the model popper you have is not adjustable, or repairable. If you are tripping a electrical circuit breaker that is a different problem not related to kettle heat. It is a symptom of an overloading problem of your outlet, or a ground fault in the popcorn popper.

There are no wiring diagrams for this manufacturer. General wiring practices are that the Hot wire(black) goes to the thermostats, and the neutral wire( White ) is attached to the heat element for the return. Switches are on the Black wires to break the circuit before power reaches the item it is controlling. A white wire on a switch is for the return from the light in the switch.

Double check the corn measurements, and adequate power supply. Other then that you have to return it, you cannot repair that brand.

Your power cord I would follow into the machine and hunt for a broken wire or a blown fuse possibly. Most pop corn makers are just about like a coffee pot. They have a klixon to control the temp and a couple of bullet fuses in line to prevent over heating. All of which is loacted on the base of the kettle. I wish I could be there to help ya get that popcorn popper working.

most likely the thermal fuse blew... Ohm it out and if its open then replace it. Take yours off, take it to your local Radio Shack

I actually just had a pleasant experience contacting Hellman Group, (The manufacturer of Nostalgia Electric popcorn machines). I called the main number, pressed 1 for customer support, and after 3 tries (got an answering machine the first couple of times), I got someone in customer service who was able to help me get the part I wanted.

I found your owner's manual here: http://nostalgiaelectrics.com/?wpfb_dl=155 Took a fast look through it and found no reset switch. However, there is an automatic lock. Just hit the cancel button and within 2 minutes, use your unit.

Water line may be frozen, heat it with a hair dryer, see if water then flows.This can happen if aair flow to bottom of frig is blocked.

Double check the kettle is plugged in tight, otherwise there are no repairable parts on Nostalgia poppers.

i lent mine out and it came back without a cord , found one on a old burnt out pitzelle iron that worked in my pile , it's just not as long as the original lesson: look at your other appliances you might allready have one !!

What would you like to know.
