Waffle Maker: Now the thermostat or whatever that controls the heat doesn’t work

All-Clad waffle iron

I’ve had mine for about two years. Worked great. Now the thermostat or whatever that controls the heat doesn’t work and the waffle iron keeps getting hotter and hotter and the light that comes on when it’s ready to put the waffle batter and never comes on. Super sad.

Oster Expressbake CKSTBRTW20: Device has stopped mixing.

Tue, 12 Oct 2021 13:39:34 -0700

Hello! I recently picked this up at a thrift shop since I have always wanted to try one. I’ve used it 7 or 8 times and the last couple times the paddle would stop spinning to mix the ingredients. I thought it was due to gunk on the paddle or the inner container wasn’t inserted properly. This last time it mixed maybe two times and then would have an audible “click” sound instead of turning the paddle. Does anyone know how to fix the motor or attachment?

Nostalgia Electrics PCM805: Why is the sugar on my cotton candy going onto the sides?

Thu, 02 Feb 2023 18:15:14 -0700

When we use our cotton candy machine the sugar goes onto the sides. We have tried different ways to hold the stick and it still collects half of the sugar we put in. We put the amount it tells you to. One full scoop with the stick. Do you guys know how to stop this? It would help a lot. Thanks for reading! :] The machine that I had to put is not the right one I use. I just put a random one because I had to select something. Bye

Waffle Maker: Kitchenaid wafflemaker power supply pcb

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 10:10:45 -0700

I have a Kitchen Aid wafflemaker KPWB100O-B00 with afailed power supply pcb with a burned resistor and can not find the Ohm value of the resistor as the heat damaged the colours. Can not by a new pcb, I have tried but it is to old. Attached is a picture of the pcb with the resistor named R3.

It failed when I connected a 220V to 110V converter, the converter was for ”non heating, non electronic use only”. I did not know that when I plugged it in. I need help to determine the Ohm value of the R3 resistor.

Pan comes out after second kneading. The make is Morphy Richards Compact. It is 13 years old. It is not the belt as we have just replaced this, it was jumping out before a new belt was fitted.

Hitachi HB-B102 Automatic Home Bakery II: Why does motor not run and paddle not turn

Sun, 16 Apr 2023 07:51:01 -0700

Started HB-B101. Paddle turned briefly, then quit. Started couple more times, but paddle didn’t turn. Machine completes cycle, lights show progress through cycle, element heats, but motor doesn’t even attempt to start (no humming). Found paddle shaft seized. Removed, lubed, and now fine. Motor test: motor removed, connected to power. Humms, but doesn’t turn. Slight spin of shaft and motor runs perfectly. Capacitor: connected to power for 5 seconds. Removed from power, touched screwdriver to one lead, then other lead…crack/spark/discharge. Connected both motor and capacitor to power (together). Motor still humms and needs slight spin to begin running. But…during seemingly normal cycle no humming, no nothing. Did something “blow” during the first attempt above and now is not sending power to the motor?" Any help appreciated.
