Black64 Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 I tried Googling the part #, no joy from teh internets. Because when that part came out the internet wasn't even invented yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonerboy779 Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Time to send it to be professionally repaired or call it a day and toss the thing. Its not worth the danger to you, your family or your home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Indeed the unit does predate the internet, but then again so do I. I don't know why everyone thinks this is dangerous, I just need to know how to hook it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 I don't know why everyone thinks this is dangerous, I just need to know how to hook it up. Don't forget to finalize your will before you hook it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 SO.... the one wire connects to two different points in the assembly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 SO.... the one wire connects to two different points in the assembly? Apparently. I guess the same wire connects to a point on both ends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 wrong.... for 220v there is TWO hookups... there has to be either TWO hot wires 1 for EACH leg of 220v (110v each leg) or 1 leg and a ground...in which case it's a 110v volt heater. if it only has one leg then the outer casing is the neutral and the unit is 110v.... for that one if it is 220v there is a hook up at each end.... its a resistance heater Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you clip the wire in the middle and attach one leg to each side with a ground to the case that makes sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renigade Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) Just take it to an Electrician. your obviously missing parts that's making it impossible to figure out what needs to be done with little or no experience in doing so. Would be safest bet IMO or Try it your self and get a spiffy new hairdo! Edited December 31, 2012 by Renigade 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 I'd have an electrician come take a gander at it. Worst case wire it up how you *think* it should work and test it out via an extension cord OUTSIDE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 I'm going to cut the wire and try it. It's not missing parts, I've got 6 of them all the same. I think it's just old school, professionals back in the day knew what to do with it, nowadays in today's Home Depot world everything has to be idiot proof.
