Electrical Projects Reverse the disassembly procedure. The shield must hold the heater assembly firmly against the casting. Rearrange the wiring on all HCD-1 models for service as follows:

1.  Remove the fused-heater lead flag terminal from the temperature control.

2.  Pull the fused-heater lead from under the pilot-light line cord lead, and redress it over the top, reconnecting the flag terminal to the temperature control.

Note: A heatsink must be used between the fuse and wire or connector to protect it when soldering.


Final Test

Apply high test voltage (1100 volts) for 1 minute between each prong on the cordset and the curler plate casting. The wattage must be between 375 and 420W when plugged into a 120V ac power source. The thermostat must cycle with the first cycle taking place within 4 minutes after the switch is turned on. This test must be made in a room temperature of 70°-85°F.

Make a test curler by utilizing a standard large curler, XH15X370, and thermocouple wire, XA12X54. See sketch.

1. Melt an indentation in the center of the top of the curler, with a soldering iron, down to the metal. Place the junction of the thermocouple in the indentation next to the metal and melt the plastic around the thermocouple wire holding it firmly in place. (Do not wrap the wire around the curler.)
