Introduction
This is a guide to disassembling a Betty Crocker Hot Pot (BC-1762). If the device is no longer able to heat up or stops working for any unknown reason, this guide can be used to take apart the device and locate the problem source. After examining the schematic at the end of the guide and fixing whatever the issue may be, this guide can then be used in reverse order to put the device back together.
The heating element is connected to an electric circuit involving a push button switch through a series of wires.
Before using this guide, make sure the device is dry and empty, and that it is disconnected from any external power source. The device can be taken apart using a Phillips #1 screwdriver. There are instances where the screws can be difficult to dislocate, so we recommend standing up and getting the screwdriver at the most advantageous angle.
