Sounds like the kettle isn't getting hot enough. The thermostat is usually at fault in this situation which can be determined by checking the amp draw on the kettle. the common complaint is the kette is too hot and burning but what really is going on is it's not hot enough so the seed won't pop. Because of the heat that is there it will loose it's moisture, dry out and burn instead. You will end up with lots of old maids . Really stale corn seed will act the same way because all the moisture in it is gone and thats what is needed to pop it.

To order a manual from the factory the part# is 67834. Depending on how old this is , those kettles and or similar design had a issue with the nut comming loose that holds down the thermostat thight to the bottom of the pan. The loose nut would then bounce around in there until it touches a elect.connection and ground at the same time. It will short circuit the kettle and end up welding itself in place . so when you turn the kettle on it trips the circuit rite away. you have to dissasemble it and remove it . there is a new locking type nut avalible to replace it.

There are many possible problems that will cause your agitator to not spin, But you said the gear in the cabinet comes off easily, it should not. There is a flat part of the motor shaft that extends thru the top of the cabinet that the gear should be tightened onto with an allen wrench via a set screw. This is the first place to check. When the motor is on, you should not be able to stop that cabinet gear from turning. (not easily anyway).

If you are speaking about poppers with a Popclean feature, there is not a reset switch. There is a sensor that looks for air movement volume, when the air "vacuum" is weak it sets off the change filter light.

A kettle not heating is either a switch, kettle wires, thermostat, or kettle heater. Check that the kettle is plugged in tight, notice if the switch lights up when switched, then contact your local gold medal dealer for repairs.
