Hot pot quit me? Help

[Dongotto]

Last night I plugged in my pot and when I came back it was still cold. I checked the outlet and it was working as it should. Do you think I wire pulled loose or element gave out?

My old hot pot was 30 years old then one day mid run it just quit. I figured it had served its time plus I didn't want to risk a fire. I bought a Lee production pot and it was money well spent

The coil probably quit working. Is there any visible cracks in it?

if I'm not mistaken u can get a new coil for it there not to pricey

When you say hot pot do you mean the little hand held dipper model . On big and little ones like that the wires connecting to the element are bad to corrode . They will break . I'd take off the cover and have a look at that first . Happened several times to me over the years . I have 2 15 pound ladle style lead pots both have done that .

If it's a Lee Pot....probably the coil. They are pretty easy to replace.....with practice. Replaced couple over the years
