Upon inspection of the device, the technician found that the device was leaking from the close nipple, and identified that the heater was nonfunctional and had burnt the heater chamber which was the source of the burning smell.The technician replaced the heater, heater chamber, close nipple and wet end kit.The technician then performed an inspection to ensure overall device functionality, for which it passed.Several possible failure modes were identified including the device being ran without water, lack of water circulation, a short circuit in the heater, or the user not priming the device.These modes of failure are reasonable for this to occur, however a conclusion is not able to be reached to determine the root cause of the failure.
