ok, the way you take the thing apart is; on the grill there are three screws near the top of it. the bottom has two tangs that are in slots. remove the screws and lift the grill out. the top is secured by three screws one on each side and one in the back. the top lifts off. there is a sheet metal shield with two klixon overloads on it. remove the phillips head screws I think there's four and rotate the cover out of the way. now you can get at the pot. one screw sideways that holds the pot to the side support and about nine that holds the top on the pot. careful of the insulation. it may shred when you take off the top. the burner head rotates counter clockwise about 40 degrees and lifts out. in the base you'll see a U shaped piece of metal. the igniter goes in here. in the base is the burner mat. you can get this from an MPI supplier -or- use a fireproof insulation like I got from mc master carr. use 500 degree rtv or stove cement to hold it in place on the bottom of the pot. the inspection window is a quartz glass - if you break it get a piece of boro silicate glass from mc master carr. use a new gasket to hold it in place. you'll find that the combustion blower motor will cost around $136. The solenoid pump is around $65. thank the Lord I haven't needed to replace the computer YET!
