NEED HELP-Susan minor site and dual element mod

[TedEbear]

Here's the wiring diagram for a second element with an ON/OFF switch, if that's what you wanted.



And here's the wiring diagram for adding a second element without an ON/OFF switch.  This isn't how I wired mine but this is what was in the mods section on the old Susan Minor site.

Thanks TedE. That is how mine looks. I may have to check the fuse or it is possible I do have a bad "new" element. It  was from 4 or 5 years ago.

If you have a multimeter it is easy to check for a bad element.  A good one will read around 27-32 ohms.

Good:



Bad:

Checked both elements and readings are same. Checked the original in line fuse and got no reading,checked the "added" in line fuse and had  reading so I ordered a new original in line fuse and will replace that. Should take care of it. Will let you know when done.

Got the new inline fuse hooked up and everything is working fine. Thanks for the help
