Jim, You got a way of taking the fun out of everything... The pins on the heater are fine, I don't think the connector has been off since the heater was put in. But still I'll probably check it... -Curt Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2006 16:58:15 -0800 From: Jim Cathey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Eureka!

Of course you measured the resistance of the heating element itself to make sure you're not ordering a new cord for a dead heater, right? Also you checked that the mating pins in the element are in decent shape so that the new cord will mate well, right? I gots to ask! If the end that plugs into the heater is ruined then it is time to buy a new cord, otherwise it could probably be repaired. This is why it's important to tie-wrap the new cord to something stout so that a drive-off will rip the plug end off rather than ruin the heater end. Then it's just a simple hardware-store repair rather than new cord (and wait) time. -- Jim --------------------------------- Yahoo! Photos Showcase holiday pictures in hardcover Photo Books.
