Hi All,

I have used my 50 amp electrical panel for about 4 years now.

Recently the wiring for the heating element overheated and burned. I am trying to figure out the best way to repair the damage.
The NEMA connector burned out 1 prong on both the female and male sides. The fuse also got toasted. The contactor still looks okay and my second element is working thru that circuit.

As I understand this kind of issue can come up from loose connections or stray wires touching things they shouldnt. I checked the wires at the pot and they look okay.
I checked for other loose wires and I couldnt find any. Even the NEMA connector was very tight.

My only idea right now is to simply replace everything that looks overheated.

Hi!

Sorry for the issues! Please email me at Kal@TheElectricBrewery.com with your order details (name/email) and we'll get this sorted out for you.
Edit: It appears this is not one of our control panel kits or a pre-assembled control panel - but I'll email you some suggestions.

Kal
