    Jiffy Garment Steamer Model J-4000 Tripped power outlet

    Need help to pinpoint why my Streamer tripped my outlet.
    I plug it it and bam loud pop followed by tripped breaker.

    Next I reset breaker switch, turn streamer on hear pop and burning but did trip breaker for the 2 sec I left it plug in.

    I have pics, most likely the cause of problem is the heating elements that are leaking and caused the problem.

    Now how Do I go find out if it's only the element issue or some other component failed as well.

    Slight update, streamer appears to be working. I remove tank and inspected heating element and get 9.8ohms which is about right for this 1500 W heating element.

    Only problem is it leaks at fitting so time to replace it.
    Any have a place to get this element cheaper besides jiffy they want $32 for a heating element.
