Right away I could not see any burnt material that would explain where the soot was generated.
There are two heating elements, each one with one black wire and one yellow wire. The photo doesn't clearly show that I disconnected/pulled off the two black wires two black wires from the blade terminals which are to the left of the still-connected yellow wires.
However, I can't detect any burnt insulation from either of the two black wires.
I can test the two heaters by checking the resistance, and I will do that. But, I have no way to test the circuit board. It's the original board, therefore I feel that I should just go ahead and order a new one anyway.
I was kinda waiting to see if Doug would offer an opinion.
Thanks
