Popcorn machine doesnt heat high - Kitchen Appliances - Others

You can test it for continuity. Remove from the circuit, set your meter to highest Rx value. Using heat gun, hair dryer on high or candle heat the t/stat. At some point it will click on/off depending on type. If its a NO it will click on, then off on removal of heat, if its a NC it will click off then on, with removal of heat. Many times the trip temp is printed on the body.

Between 1/6 and 1/4 cup, according to the owners manual found here:

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?

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.

double check the kettle is firmly plugged in. If it is and not heating return to store. there are no repairs for that model machine.

Let it cool to see if the reset resets, if not, it is time to throw it away. There are no parts or repairs that can be done to that model.

That model has a thermostat (also called a high limit) that is set at 450F. it should produce a popping cycle of 3 mins, and yes will burn popcorn if you don't dump it fairly quickly.
The speed it heats cannot be too fast, there is only so many watts in the heat element. it may go to hot, but never to fast.
The best way to test temp is time the 2nd popping cycle with a stop watch. the second batch should be 3 mins +/- 30 seconds. if it is 4 mins it is too cold. a 2 min popping cycle is to hot.
A popper that is too cold is also popping poor quality popcorn, higher amount of unpopped kernels, and small chewy popcorn.
Measure carfully when doing time test popping. That model is 2oz oil, 6oz popcorn, and 1 tsp salt. Start timing when you put ingredients in, and stop when you dump it. The kettle must be hot, that is why you time the 2nd batch.

Pls check if your popcorn pack sealed tightly and kindly inspect your equipment if the radiation is enough to heat up the popcorn. You may also restart the mircowave so that you would verify if the machine does work

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.
