Kettle Circuit Breaker
This machine is equipped with a Kettle Circuit Breaker. The circuit breaker may trip during
shipment of the unit due to vibrations encountered in transit. If the breaker is tripped the kettle
will not heat. The circuit breaker must be reset by qualified service personnel only.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Various issues may prevent the kettle from heating. Prior to
checking the Kettle Circuit Breaker, reference the Troubleshooting section of the
Instruction Manual to check for other possible issues.
Checking the Kettle Circuit Breaker
Note for PopClean Units:
The Heat Switch is inactive unless the Filter Switch is ON, all
filter lights are GREEN, and the Change Filter light is OFF.
To check if the Kettle Circuit Breaker has tripped, turn the Kettle Heat Switch ON. The small
green indicator light on the Kettle Heat Switch should turn ON. If the green indicator light is OFF
,
when the Kettle Heat Switch is in the ON position,
the circuit breaker is tripped
. (For Flexi-Pop
units with a combined Flexi-Pop/Kettle Heat Switch, the green light on the Kettle Motor Switch is
used to indicate the Kettle Circuit Breaker is tripped.)

For hanging kettle machines
–
On Standard Poppers, the Kettle Circuit Breaker is located under
the dome. An additional cover must be removed to reset the circuit breaker. On PopClean Poppers,
the side dome panel must be removed to access the circuit breaker located on the vertical controls
panel in the dome interior (reference images below).
•
For pedestal mounted kettle machines -
the front cover plate must be removed to access the
Kettle Circuit Breaker (reference image below).
The circuit breaker should only be reset after a qualified service person has checked the
complete kettle circuit for faults. The limit and heating contactors/relays should be checked to
ensure that the contacts are not welded together. The kettle receptacle and plug (if equipped)
should be checked for loose contacts or shorted wiring. The popcorn kettle bottom must be
examined to ensure there is no loose hardware or other items causing a short circuit. All wiring
in the kettle circuit should be checked for fraying wires, short circuits, and loose connections.
