disassembly[edit]

These videos are best for describing how to disassemble: http://www.batchcoffee.com/pages/gene-cafe-coffee-roaster-repair-videos

diagnostics[edit]

Ran the tests in this document: http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0200/0574/files/Multimeter_Tests_Article.pdf?2005

The result was

  • 120 volts on the heater lead pins
  • infinite resistance between the heater element wire leads where it should have been 10 ohms

so order a replacement heater element.

And remove the existing heater element following the disassembly videos mentioned above:
