I had a similar problem happen with a heating element for an older dryer a few years back. I called a technician (which is always a risk of losing more money if they can't fix the problem). I also didn't know if it was the element. Sometimes it may not be the element and I was concerned that it was something else internal. However, the technician brought a multimeter and was able to confirm that it was the element that had malfunctioned.

Each element comes with spec'd wattage and he was able to get one of the same specs that ended up working great. If you have someone in your area that has done this kind of thing, may be worth a call to talk through the problem (unfortunately I am not familiar with an exchange part for that model specifically or if there is one that would work but they should know).

Hope this helps!

Generic restring kits are available to replace the coiled wire on the existing element frame. Match-up the element voltage (typically 240v) and wattage (no idea what that'd be for a Bosch, should be on the machine's model/serial label) closely as possible. The element wire in the kit is compressed and must be stretched to match the length of the original. That can be a bit tricky if the original is broken. Stretching must be even along the length to avoid hot spots and sags. Anchor one end to something and pull the other end carefully and a little at a time ... releasing the stretch tension and measuring/comparing ... until the length matches the original. Be careful not to stretch it too much as it's nigh impossible to reverse if gone too far. Carefully thread the new coil through the mounting of the frame without further stretching it and make sure there are no sags where the wire could touch itself or the frame.

Hi dab07

Back in 2016 lesleyhamer_nz was chatting about the troubles with her Tulikivi fireplace.

I have installed over 100 Tulikivi fireplace in NZ bar 3 fireplace. I have built models in Australia, Tasmainia and Japan.

Would like to help in any way I can.

Cheers

Thanks to you both, those are great answers, and encouraging.

Something like this?

Heater Element

They show it as out of stock. You might try calling them.

It's something like that, inside a metal case. The one that fits exactly is no longer made and I can't find it anywhere.
