Your board may look different from that shown here, but the two wires of the Fusible Link are easily identified as they are covered with a white, woven insulation. They connect to the two terminals marked "T3" and "T4" on the Main Board. If your roaster has these two wires as shown in this image proceed using the instructions below.
NOTE: Over time there has been some variation on the colors of some of the wires. The wires you will be dealing with may be red or may be white. So long as you chose the correct wires as identified by their connection points the color of the wires does not matter.

Use a needle nose pliers to remove the two wires shown here which connect the Fusible Link to the Main Circuit Board connected to the two terminals marked "T3" and "T4" on the Main Board.

Using either an ohm meter or a continuity tester, test the fusible link by connecting the test device to the link- each of the two leads from the tester connected to each of the connectors of the fusible link as seen here.
Depending on the tester you are using, the results should show approximately 0 Ohms (no resistance) or full continuity (see the instructions included with your testing device to assist in interpreting the results). If the results show that the fusible link is not conducting electricity, Contact hottop@hottopusa.com for fusible link replacement, or other repair procedures. Refer to the repair procedures for instructions on how to replace the fusible link.

Your board may look different from that shown here, but check to see that your roaster has the jumper-resistor connected to terminals T3 and T4 as shown here. If your roaster has this resistor on the Main Board proceed using the instructions below.

Use a needle nose pliers to remove the wire indicated by the numeral "1" here and the wire indicated by the numeral "2." Be aware that the positions of these wires may be reversed— the red wire indicated by the numeral "2" and the white wire may be in reversed positions. Note that your board may look somewhat different from that shown here, but terminal numbering is the same for all KN-8828X roasters. Disconnect these two wires.
NOTE: Over time there has been some variation on the colors of some of the wires. The wires you will be dealing with may be red or may be white. So long as you chose the correct wires as identified by their connection points, the color of the wires does not matter.

Depending on the tester you are using, the results should show approximately 0 Ohms (no resistance) or full continuity (see the instructions included with your testing device to assist in interpreting the results). If the results show that the fusible link is not conducting electricity, It means that either the fusible link is bad and/or the heating element is bad.
To further diagnose the problem it will be necessary to access the electrical connections on the back of the heating Element. Refer to the repair procedures for instructions on how to replace the fusible link which details the procedure to get to these wires most easily. Disconnecting the fusible link from the heating element will allow you to test the isolated link using your testing device as you have just done above. Also test the heating element in the same way.
