Thanks Howard. I've been meaning to try that for a while. Great to know that it's worth doing, and to have the part numbers. You mentioned the poor fit of the cartridge. I think this an important detail, and adds to the issues of slow heating, and element burnout. I put some aluminum foil around the stock element on mine, and it does come to temperature a little faster now. I'd still like more watts.
