Why is there no power to my Gold Medal Kitchen Appliances?
- A
  Amy MezaAug 6, 2025
  If your Gold Medal Kitchen Appliance is not receiving power, there could be a couple of reasons. First, ensure that the power cord is properly plugged into an outlet. Second, if your unit is equipped with mini circuit breakers, check if they have tripped. These breakers supply power to all unit features and are typically located on the control panel or ceiling of the popper. If a breaker trips again after being reset, the unit requires inspection and repair.

  If the kettle in your Gold Medal Kitchen Appliance isn't heating, here's what to check: * For removable kettles, ensure the kettle lead-in cord is fully plugged in and twisted to lock it into the receptacle. If it has a locking ring, make sure it's fully screwed on. * If the unit is plugged in and the Kettle Heat Switch is ON, but the small green indicator switch light is OFF, then the Kettle Circuit Breaker may be tripped. Have a qualified service person check if the breaker has tripped (breaker is located under the dome). * A defective thermocouple lead or a loose kettle lead-in connection can also cause this issue. Check for control error conditions and have a qualified service person check for good connections from the kettle to the control.

  If the kettle agitator shaft isn't rotating on your Gold Medal Kitchen Appliance, do not pop corn. First, check if the Kettle Motor Switch is ON. If it is ON, but the shaft remains still, the switch or motor may be faulty; contact qualified service personnel for inspection/repair. For kettles with a FIXED Stir Rod, check the clearance between the shaft with welded stir blade and the kettle bottom; it should be a minimum of 1/32” (thickness of a dime).

Why is the yellow dump light on or blinking on Gold Medal Kitchen Appliances?

  Lawrence FloresAug 25, 2025
  The yellow dump light being ON or blinking, accompanied by a sounding buzzer (outside of normal operation) or a steady dump light with insufficient kettle heating on your Gold Medal Kitchen Appliance indicates that the Temperature Control Board has detected an error condition. A loose kettle lead-in connection can cause a thermocouple lead issue. Make sure the kettle lead is plugged in completely and the locking ring is fully screwed onto the kettle receptacle. Contact qualified service personnel for inspection/repair.
