Oh wait I'm looking at this wrong. The threads I'm looking at are for a cover or something. This must be a tri clamp element.

Yeah, looks like a triclamp element.

Oof. That element was on its last leg. (Pun intended) LOL .. Good one. I ended up getting another one like it but 4500 watts. For what I do that will be fine. I have a bunch of old SS elements from my old set up so I am going to make or get a 2" cover that will work with a regular element to have on hand for a backup. |

Put the new element in .. nothing. Open the control panel and find the breaker in there popped. Reset that and glance over and boom... that is not right.   |

I haven't seen that before. You had quite the epic failure. I'm guessing the SSR failed and took out the element with it.

I wonder if the element failed and when I tried it a second time it then blew the SSR. Either way that is toast. I have some replacements but have to order some heat-sink compound. That should be here tomorrow. |
