I'll have to try the penetrating fluids when it is not being used in season. And, I'll check for a second available slot.
I read 39.5 ohms and2.9 amps. Sure seems ok to me.
I've had this problem about once a year and cleaning and making sure the fuse holder clips are tight has always fixed the problem. The fuse was blowing in about 6 seconds. After a couple cleanings and checking for tightness and 3 fuses, I cleaned all connections with a metal polish (Wenol); installed a new fuse; all is fine for now.
I would still like to work on getting the heating element loosened for future replacement, if ever needed.
Thanks to all for all the good info and help.-- Mick
