I'm needing to replace the heating elements in the Quest M3s coffee roaster.
I can't get any response from the manufacture, after sending numerous emails.
So, I'm going to find and install them myself.
Spec I know:
120v, 5.8Ω

I have calculated:
(V×V) = ans ÷ Ω
(120×120) = 14,400 ÷ 5.8
Watts = 2,482

What type of tubular heating element is this?
I've been searching u-shaped heating elements and notice different materials.
So far, my guess is Nickel-Chromium, but just not sure.
Here's the pic with spec sheet of the roaster.
Thanks in advance.

Looks like a standard hairpin heater element.
A quick search gives this.
https://www.topcoffee.net/quest-m6-replacement-heaters.html
Quest M6 Replacement Heaters as spare parts for Quest M3s coffee roaster.
I found that, for the M6, priced @ €74.50. But their shipping, to the U.S. is €69.95.
The M3 version is €64.50, still shipping is €69.95.
They have no specs on the heater. I don't know if it's 120v or 240v. Nor do I know the watts.
That's why I'm on the hunt.
