restring

To restring or not to restring that is the question.
Obsolete heat strip on tappin unit rather replace than restring 13 yrs old.
What are your opinions???

If the rest of it is in ok condition, restring.

used to be alot of heat strips got restung now everybody just wants to sell somthing ,restring it and make sure you check the airflow so it does notburn out again

Restring if everything else is in working order, restring kits are cheap.

I would restring as well at 13 years old.

Yrs ago, I had a general type procedure I went bye. 5KW = Hook strip bolt to van hinge and stretch to 58" length with tape measure ending at start of other end strip bolt. Go to string and maybe have to re stretch just a bit longer. Think 10KW was 61".

had a senior tech tell me to run a string the length of the element run and then stretch to that.

Good advise thanks I am not good at restring and unit not in great shape, at any lenth landlords too cheap to do either so dude is out of luck for time being. He has been the tenant for one mth according to him , landlord says he is behind on rent??? whatever I'm staying out of it.
