Hi Todd,
Thanks, I just opened a support ticket on your system and sent my shipping details. I’ll keep looking locally but if you’ll send asap I’ll know I have a good backup. I understand about finding the right stuff. I didn’t order a product on Amazon for high temp NSF RTV because it talked about it’s bonding properties. Yikes. Thanks much, Jonathan From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Todd Salzman Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2017 1:36 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Whole Latte Love Technical Support <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [#98808] Heating element replacement Hi Jonathan, Sorry, I don't know of any that I could recommend. It's not easy finding the right stuff. You don't want one that is so hard that you can't remove it later. If you can't find it let me know and we can ship. It can go First class and be there in three days.

If you can point to a product with which you’re comfortable, I’ll try to locate it locally. I’m so done with two months of French press and the sooner I get our Brewtus fixed, the better for my entire household!

It should be heat resistant up to 250, and food safe.

Should it be a high temp NSF sealant?

We use a 1 7/16" socket. https://wiki.wholelattelove.com/images/6/68/EXPOBAR_ALL_Replacing_The_Element.pdf We use food grade, NSF thread sealant rather than a gasket. You should be able to find some at a restaurant supply store.

Planning to use yellow teflon on the threads after a thorough cleaning. I've also read that people have had to fashion their own gaskets, hoping the WLL replacement comes with one. I've rebuilt engines and a thousand other things so I'm not afraid of complexity but the fragility of the boiler and the force necessary to remove the element are concerning. Planning on leaving the boiler in place, using an oil filter wrench next to the end plate of the boiler and an impact wrench to loosen. Any advice is appreciated.

While the new parts are on their way from WWL, I'm girding for the fight, planning to use an impact wrench. I've seen various reports on the size of the heating element nut. I've read 1 7/16ths works but from the conversion table that could either be 36 or 37mm. Anyone know the real size? Thanks!
