    Rewiring circuit board of a MES30 20070910

    Thanks ! I am testing a dry hog sausage recipe without smoking now. Any advice on smoking for dry fermented sausage ? Cheers

    Yup, it was the element. As it heats up, cracks must open and short it to ground. I changed it and all is nominal. Thanks for your inputs.

    Rewiring circuit board of a MES30 20070910

    I think the element has a problem. Running non gfci would not help since the breaker trips withhout the gfci or afci light on. It must go over 20A and trips. Cold it is ok. I ordered both replacements for the snap and the element. Cheaper than buying a new unit. Thx for your help. I will...

    Thx tallbm, I actually tested the PID controller and circuit board and they work fine. Now the smoker turns the heating element for a few sec and then trips the breaker. The resistance of the element is 18.5 ohms and the amp is 6.5amp while running. So nominal. It must be a GF problem. So...

    Rewiring circuit board of a MES30 20070910

    I think I ordered the wrong circuit board. The one I need is the 9907160013. Now I know how to rewire the power cables and the heating element wires. But I don’t know how the wiring works for the PID: red, black, white and blue plus two wires for the thermocouple which I presume goes to the 2...

    Rewiring circuit board of a MES30 20070910

    Hi all, I have an old unit with a 4 pin PID and a 2 pin temp sensor. My circuit board is fried but I cannot find the same unit anywhere. I ordered a 9907180024 but it has a 5 pin connector only. Pic is the old circuit board and the new one. How do I rewire ? Do I need to buy a 9907160013...
