- Echols Popcorn Machine - posted in Concessions, Games and More!: This machine was a freebie but I have a problem with it. When the popcorn starts coming out of the kettle, the kettle will tilt and the gears ( though they are actually like 2 bars) at the top stop making contact and it stops rotating the popcorn.

Echols Popcorn Popper
We have a popcorn machine at work. Super mario bros z mugen. The kettle died and I took it home to fix.
I didn't know a ton about them before but after working on it it seems to mainly consist of a heating element, a thermostat and an in-line fuse.
I replaced the fuse but each time I would turn the thing on it would cook one batch of popcorn (much faster than before and not as well) and then not be able to do another. It seemed like the fuse was burning out. I had replaced it with the same model number as before.
So I replaced the thermostat too. Fico xpress community. Still, the same thing happens. I tried reversing the poles in case I put the wires back in backwards and didn't realize it, in case that mattered, but no effect.
I adjusted the thermostat, both old and new turning them down and down by what should be 200 degrees in the end but was getting the same effect, like the thermostat wasn't the issue.
Does anybody have any ideas what is going on here? Is there maybe some inline resistor in the heating element I'll never be able to get to or see or something?
Adding a picture. The two white wires are power, the green is a ground. There's nothing but wire beyond where they go.
