How we repair your Popcorn Machine
A popcorn machine pops kernels in a heated kettle with a stirring agitator, with a heated cabinet to hold the popped corn. A popcorn machine is usually a heating element or plate, a thermostat or temperature sensor, a timer or control board and a thermal fuse for safety. A technician tests the power path, the heating element and the safety devices, and confirms the repair costs less than replacement.
Commercial countertop units like conveyor toasters and panini grills work all day, and a fast repair is usually far cheaper than lost sales during breakfast and lunch rushes.
