Jerky Bummer
« on: December 08, 2015, 01:32:12 PM »
Darn.  Was planning on finally testing out the jerky dryer.  Wouldn't be as big of an issue but I don't have a soldering gun.
Red wire is not attached.

Oh man!  That sucks.  Surely you have a buddy that's handy with a soldering iron?

I had a problem last weekend using my dryer too. The cord just broke off right at the base of the adapter.

Fortunately Steve is coming to the rescue and sending me a new cord.

I'll have to double check mine but is the cord hard, or brittle?,

I'm really not sure what happened to it.

No, the cord isn't hard or brittle and I never stored it outside where it would freeze.

I did wrap the cord around the power pack during storage and that may have been a contributing factor. I won't be wrapping the cord around the power pack on the new cord.

Yeah, lesson learned, which I have. All of my corded tools don't get wrapped, I kind of loop them and let them be. At least Steve is hooking you up.. 8)

I was going to be willing to pay for the new cord considering my purchase was from last September. But, once again, Steve sets his customer service apart from the rest of the pack.

It wasn't pretty but got it soldered back together.  Wire was barely long enough so had to add a new wire to the old.   Hope it works for a while now LOL

That is a bummer. I have had good luck with mine...I can see where it is not a stout connection by any means.

Threw the jerky dryer on 2 hour after I started it with smoke.  So far so good.
Been at 115* since 10 am.  Rotating racks along the way.
