Can you please confirm if the heating element is in the oil or is it underneath the oil reservoir.

The element is submersible and goes under the basket in the oil and is attatched to the controls outside of the basket. see video below If it wasn't in the oil, it would take alot of heat to get the frying temp high enough to fry such as a gas stove with a dutch oveh and a wire laddle to scoup out frys, If you dont like this than get a presto electric wok and fry in it like tempora and use a wire laddle to extract the fried food.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZmBD4XlilQ

The element is in the oil and provides a cool zone underneath. Breading in the oil does not burn to the bottom and can be rinsed out after cooling.

When you assemble the unit, the heating element sits in the oil. There is about a 1/2 to 1 inch space between the bottom of the element and the reservoir, so any crumbs from the food that's frying fall to the bottom of the reservoir. Cleaning the element is easy to hand wash..

It sits in the oil. If you're concerned about cleaning it, I don't consider it a big deal. The heating element is a decent size.

It sits in the oil itself, thus the need to wash the element by hand. It sits about one inch from the bottom of the oil pan. If it was attached to the underneath, the cavity could not be put in the dishwasher-- but everything except the element/controls unit can go in the dishwasher.

The element is in the oil, it works very well, I really like the way you can clean all the parts.

On my unit there is a jumper between RH and RC and the RED wire goes to RH and the WHITE wire goes to W. Mine is oil heat only. Hope this helps.

Yes it is. This same heating element pulled up when I ran your model #, it is the same part #.

The heating element is in the bottom and I always wait for the oil to cool before draining it.

Hmmmm is there oil in the well? Tap on the light or check the wire connection.

Put it on the bottom of the oil pan to heat the oil. Warm oil makes the car easier to start.

Hi. This heater is a manual operated heater, that is, you plug it in and it heats. If it is above 32 degrees and you have it plugged in, it will It is attached to the oil pan and even if the oil gets above that temperature it will continue to heat.

If everything is tight, it looks ok. But you are correct that these engines do not have low oil level sensor or shutoffs. Need to keep an eye on it.

The outer shell is separate from the inner container that holds the oil. So, there is about a half inch of space separating the inside container from the outer shell. The heating element is immersed in the oil and does not touch the bottom of the unit. The sides get warm to the touch. It is quite safe for a kitchen countertop.

Its not an oil problem its a design flaw. there is a review that tells how to repair it above. IF you dump it right after ever use there shouldn't be to much of a problem.

Very cool. Thanks. Im hoping its the temp sensor as I already replaced the element so far and thats the only thing left. Thanks again

negative, it is a hot air machine.I believe oil may short it out, would definitely make a mess

Yes it is. That is how the suction is maintained. Works best if the oil is warm.

You would have to check the seal around the tips to see if you see any oil. Other than that some oil might have been spilled by some other means.

The heating unit is enclosed in the base of the machine. The hose of course would be hot if you didn't let the oil cool first which is what you should do.

It's a new heating element and cover, which you will need to replace on this thing quite often (depending on use, of course.) I suggest getting several more replacement kits aside from the one it comes with.

Yes. The heating element is hidden in the bottom, so the liquid doesn't touch it directly.
