thanks for the comeback.  smoker is several years old.  where does one go to buy a new element. I'm in Victoria.

now that I think about it.  if the power was getting to the unit and just the element was done, would the indicator light not still be lit?  hate to order a new element if the problem is due to lack of power.  can I start removing a few screws to check the power the wires etc.?

Habanero Smoker

If you have the glass element, and the coil inside has broken or burnt apart, that would disrupt the flow of electricity.

You could check for loose wires inside the generator, it's easy to open. To make the task easier click on the link below:
Cleaning the Generator

Also if the smoker overheated, the high temperature switch may have burnt out, so that it no longer resets.

Also I forgot to welcome you to the forum.
