Manning Bowman Twinover or Twinomatic Repair

[pcamazzola]

Hello,
I am actually researching this question for our Priest. He has a Manning Bowman waffle iron that belonged to his late mother. In an attempt to thoroughly clean and restore the waffle iron a portion of the coiled wire was fried. Does anyone know where compatible wire may be obtained?

Very neat! I had never thought about what's inside a waffle cooker.

 

I know that you can buy dryer heating elements and cut them to length. Another option could be to buy a small space heater and cannibalize the nichrome coils from it.

 

The waffle cooker should have a wattage rating on it. You'll need to cut the new element to the correct length to draw the same wattage as the original one. Then, spread or compress the coils to get it to fit in the holder.
