Does anyone know if anyone makes a replacement 110V Peppina heating element? It does not seem like a hard one to make, but I know that volume will be low and that may discourage people from making them available. I would appreciate the input. Thanks

Hi,
I have not tried it yet, but there is possibility of Chinese manufacturers, who will be also cheap.

Go to aliexpress, search for "custom water heating element". Look at the products available and pick one of the sellers. Write them message to produce a specific heater, put all the details, dimensions, angles, voltage, wattage, threads and connections and they may be kind to make it for you.

Or you can search for custom element on the web and pick any other manufacturer you find locally.

Since the folks in SoCal with OEM parts seem un-contactable, you could remove the element and ship it to Gabor (in Hungary) to have it rebuilt.
