Our heat element went out. Could we purchase the heat element separate?

I would contact the company and ask for a replacement if you have had it less than a year. I burned mine out by putting too much moisture into the oil and having it burn out. Bought a replacement and kept the parts from the first one.

I am not sure but I would contact the company. We purchased additional filters from them and they probably have a list of parts available. If it is less than a year old, they probably would cover it under warranty.

Most likely the heat element burned out. Local repair shops would not fix it even tho still on warranty. Returned the unit to Oreck. They sent a new one which works ok.

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.

Miss Gosset; The company advises you not to open the heating unit but if you call them they will tell you how to take care of the problem. I still had the warrentee on mine & they sent me a whole new unit. They will probably let you purchase a new electrical unit if you don't have an effective warrentee now. Just give them a call & they can direct you. Hope this helps. Joanna

Responding to Andrew, that wasn't my personal experience. I had a problem with my heating element itself, but it was covered under my warranty, and when I contacted Char-Broil directly, they had another element to me by the end of the week. Very good customer service.

Hello James, if the dryer is yours you could pretty much operate without an element (it will be cold only), but the question is "Are you getting a strong air flow?" I'm not going to tell you what to do before you buy it, but I'm going to tell what I did: I took the element out, I found the broken element, I twisted with a pliers and put it back the the broken element with twisted fix worked again for another another year. Now, elements usually break for the lack of cooling or air flow, so if you put a new element but nobody at home is removing the old lint, the new element is going to burn again. Use your hand and arm and make sure there is no blockage whatsoever inside the duct. Regarding model, before I purchased I went to several sites and found that they are very similar. I thank God, that the guy selling the element in this site, is not running a nuclear power plant, because it would have been smarter to take a picture of the element, than to take a picture of the box, right? At any rate, Amazon is very friendly with returns if it doesn't work you may have 30 days to return. I hope it helped, good luck!

You pretty much don't have to unless there is a problem or if you've removed the heatsink for some reason. This doesn't dry out and quit working like many of the cheap compounds. So, as long as it was applied correctly to begin with, you won't need to replace it. If you've taken off the heatsink, it's advisable to clean both sides and reapply the compound to make sure there aren't any bubbles.

How long have you had it? If you are still inside the return window, that is what I suggest. I had two heating elements go out within about 6 hours of work. Returned it and got a Hakko. No regrets.

This is a relatively easy fix. The heating element wires tend to become disconnected over time as the unit is moved about and bumped back and forth. Remove the lower plate, take a phillips head screwdriver and remove the five screws holding the base plate. Lift the base plate and there in the back, odds are, you'll see that one of the wires has simply slipped loose of the connector. You can push it back on and then crimp it slightly with a pair of needle-nose pliers and it is less likely to come loose again.

I would try e-bay, because the manufacturer phone # does not provide service any more. I tried to buy an extra gasket because I know they eventually wear out, and was told when I called that they no longer supply parts, service, or help of any kind. This was about a year ago. If you are able to return the pressure cooker you might want to do that. If not you could disassemble it to sell the parts on e-bay. I need a gasket :). I hope Montel is hanging his head in shame over this, but most likely he's laughing his way to the bank and doesn't care.

I used a little rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab to clean the heating element in mine about a year ago. It worked for about a year stopped working then has worked fine since I cleaned it. I think using distilled water keeps it from getting gunky around the heating element from minerals, etc in the water.

oh i was wrong before. Temperature sensor not functioning is E3 I was thinking of E1 needing the filter cleaned. my bad. you can call them up to see how much the part would cost but my unit like this they told me they no longer make it and dont have parts anymore and sent me a replacement unit of another kind they make. they at first wanted to send me a unit with 2 heating elements and the one i had had 4. so i had to fight with them to get a replacement with 4. mine was still under warranty. if your out of warranty you will most likely be out of luck.

Wgen we bought this element for the aame rwason u mention, we went to install the new element & found that the wiring to the connectors were broken and not making clean contact & were lucky we never had a fire. Replaced wires & old element works like new so we keep this one as a spare.

I looked it up, but could not see where this one was a match? Does not mean it won't work. My suggestion is to turn off the power and remove the old element and take it to your local appliance store and they should be able to find you a good match. Most of the differences are how the element power wires attach to the element. Those have to be a match or it could short out inside the unit walls and then it goes down hill from there!
