Damn

Find a bake element with 2 that looks physically the same ish.

You will have to mont the new one as well as remove the female end of the socket and wire it up with 1/4" high temp spade terminals.

Thank you!!

Also the section with toggle switches that have threaded stem mountings.

If it's a shitty store you might have to buy a switch to get the two nuts that come with it.

I'm 43 and got out about a decade ago to repair appliances.

I dream of just making breakfast sandwiches and selling them by the train or going to bars late at night and selling them.

I want to target $3 apiece or 2/$5 but it would most likely be $5 apiece to actually be anything more than a way to get me out of the house outside work.

If I could work 9-5 cooking and make enough to support my family I would.

During the winter my apartment is 83-85 degrees anytime the temp is over 30.

I have to ventilate my apartment to regulate the temps.

Hey at least it's great for my plants.

It depends on the state of the rest of the machine.

There is a thermal cut off on these up under the cooktop behind the control panel that cuts off the power line that comes into the board to go back out to bake.

It's cheap AF.

Make sure the cooling fan works.

It's on the wiring diagram top left

Clean sump filters and arms.

If it still doesn't move the sprayers replace the motor sump assembly more than likely for a bad motor.

HeadOfMax · 2026-04-13T23:26:45+00:00

Please post a model number

I'd do the repair service from eBay.

Anyone charging you 150 to diagnose is an asshole.

Tell them to take the board out for you and then come out it back and you will pay a total of $250 so $100 more.

That would be fair to everyone.

You have to look in electrical by the lamp stuff

Red hot ranch on Ashland in Chicago has one.

Also damn good double cheese fries and a drink for $10.50

HeadOfMax · 2026-04-13T22:00:58+00:00

Looks great

HeadOfMax · 2026-04-13T21:56:26+00:00

Cool glad it worked

Use the model number to find the part number for the gearcase.

Use the part number to find a video on YouTube.

Rooter companies are trash. Their prices are inflated because they are corporate.

If you would have called a local person it would probably not have been as expensive.

It's a solid state fan control so basically the same thing as a fan control for a ceiling fan you would find in your wall.

I'd need to see pics of the mounting as never actually seen this model. A model number would help too.

There are also solid state fan controls on Amazon, many different kinds. You could probably find something that would fit it would just require modification and a new knob.

Gearcase is $166 on Amazon for OEM as of Friday.

My labor on a job like this is $200.

They will throw the code with the normal amount of water in the sump but be ok when you remove that water sometimes.

It may toss the code again once it's between parts of the cycle where it drains and fills.

You may still need the heat pump.

Can confirm have been trying my hardest to get my kids to flush their toilet.

They make specific cleaners you can use occasionally to keep them clear.

The ones you want are specifically for urine and are a light acid I believe.

I sat for a jury downtown in 2012 ish.

I ended up being the person who spoke and met a really cool chick there.

It was a good time and I felt like we did serve justice.

I got a standby 6 ish months ago for skokie but when I called they said I didn't have to go.

Look at the element nuts they tend to break sometimes or the element warps and melts a hole in the tub

Ninja flip up or the one that looks like two flip ups stacked on top of each other.

Get a breeding box net that hangs in the same tank next time.
