The Gene ramped up at preheat as normal. Once I put the beans in, Aaron's $23 pound Geisha, I started the roast. It is never the cheap beans that malfunctions happen on. I went about my business in the kitchen but after about eight minutes notice I was not getting any smell. I looked over at the Gene and realized it was only at 105°. I played with it throughout the morning and it continually drops. I can only get around 90° out of it now.
From what I read, it sounds like my heating element has gone. Would this be anyone else's professional assessment? Where can I get another one of these. I remember reading a while back that parts were going through a new distributor but cannot find the thread on which one. Thanks in advance for any help.
Yay for Klatch's free shipping weekend.
