Running Heating Element Dry by mistake

Post by artooks »

Hi,


Today I did complete my vinegar run in my small 3 Gallon boiler, the problem is I put 2.5 gallons of water vinegar mix and run it hard, at the end of the run, when I opened the top part of the still I saw that my heating element is dry, it is an "4500 Watt Straight (LWD) Camco 02929 " it is stainless steel
I checked it out it looks ok but I am wondering if it somehow got bad in terms of the metal body, how do you check if the heating element is ok, Its not burned could it be because it a low watt ?
