Introduction

    • Detach the cover/serving bowl from the popper.

    • Removing the bottom cover exposes the internals of the popper. The base holds together the centrally mounted motor and the wires for the power cord and heating element.

    • Remove the two black wire twist caps, and unwind the different wires.

    • During reassembly, make sure the wires are strongly twisted together (twist clockwise) and the wire caps are firmly attached.

    • Avoid swapping the polarity during reassembly. The neutral (ridged) wire connects to the left motor wire and the white wire to the heater.

    • Remove two more 14 mm Phillips #2 screws attaching the white plastic holding the wall cord to the base.

    • Remove the two 14 mm Phillips #2 screws from the motor.

    • Remove the motor from the popper.

    • A spring located in the shaft may force the motor out when the screws are sufficiently loosened.

  5. hQctlDKAGnhQmoAo

    • Remove the four 50 mm screws attaching the base to the heating pan.

    • Removing these screws takes significant force.

  6. WNO5PRCtADB1n26I

    • Remove the base from the rest of the device.
