Popcorn machine We think the heating element went out and would like to know if you have the part and how much would it be?

First, check the circuit breaker to make sure it has not tripped. If it has, reset it and see if the kettle heats up. If it does not, then you may need to check the wiring to make sure it is connected properly. If the wiring is connected properly, then you may need to replace the heating element.

It could be a bad switch, plug, thermostat or heating element. These items will need to be tested by a qualified electrician to determine which are faulty and causing the element not to heat up.

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.

If the switch is OK and you have. Power at the kettle plug and you are not getting any heat it's one of 3 things. Burned wire inside the kettle. this is common. Or it could be the thermostat is bad or the element itself is out?

Did you ever get it to work.. Its either 1 of a few things.. the heating element.. wiring or the thermostat.. youll have to remove the bolts that hold the kettle in place to see the wiring .. let me know.. i just repaired one that had the same problem..

I have the same kind of popper. I went Star manufacturing and ordered the parts. It was easy foe me to fix.

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.

I am also looking for replacement parts for my ccp-509, specifically the kettle plug connector (female)

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
