I appreciate you walking us through your thought process and walking us through the repair! I also like that you encourage us to take the risks of fixing it ourselves when the stakes are only about $15.
I realize that my identical burners, minus the sensors, on my other stove were very 'weak' compared to the new ones. Something to think about. This one heats up fast.
Solder, rubber cover for connector, and heat shrink don't work on this high heat element. There is also no need of grinder. Cover easily opened with Plier by bending the sides.
It's working! The center part doesn't get hot enough to melt the solder. And the fiberglash sheath and heat shrink tubing are made to withstand heat. I'm going to do the rest with ceramic wire nuts as I mentioned in the video after connecting and tinning the wires. When you take the cap off from teh top it has two springs along the side. If you lift the top up enough to get to the underneath to work on the sensor it extends the springs on the sides and they're shot after that. The cap just lays flat on the top or is tilted because of the stress on the springs.
This must be something new. I never run across that type of element before. Its one thing to be safe, its another to have too many safeguards that you cant complete the task
Great job bypassing a safety switch on an extremely power hungry heating element! I'm sure this won't lead to anyone losing their homes due to preventable fire because they wanted to save a few seconds boiling water!
Thnx. Everyone makes their own choices. And most of them are already living with burners that don't turn themselves off. You can purchase replacement ones on Amazon without these sensors.
Thank God for you!!!

It's not always the cost of the repair, but more the cost of being without. Thanks.
Good job! I picked up 4 old style burners for free from a range on trash day.

Great video! Would be nice to see a side by side comparison on boil time for updated vs original burner…maybe a short? 😂
Good idea with the remaining ones. I might do that.

I understand that it's a new thing on stove after 2018.

Hi I represent your homeowners insurance would you please call us we need to update your policy
Ha, you may be right. Thing is I can buy non sensor units to replace them with. So I don't think it's a deal breaker with the insurance company.
