Why is my Gold Medal 100 popcorn taking so long to pop?
- MMichelle BrownJul 27, 2025
Several factors can cause long popping cycles. It could be due to a burned-out heating element in the kettle, low voltage, inadequately sized electrical supply lines, or inferior corn quality. Have a qualified service person check the heating elements. Ensure the machine is not operating on low voltage by consulting a qualified electrician. Also, confirm that your electrical supply lines are adequately sized to prevent fire hazards and ensure proper kettle temperature. Finally, use only top-quality hybrid popcorn from reputable suppliers, and avoid letting the corn pick up moisture or dry out.
