    Dear Alan Lewis: The Answer to your question is yes you can replace
    the heating elements or the thermostat on your Vulcanizer. Before
    you buy any of these diagnose the problem. Then get the size of your
    plates and measure the elements and check how the themostat is
    attached and if you have a digital camera get an image that you can
    send. I would recommend that you do a prelimanry testing your self. 

    The heating elements are usually wired such that if there is a
    breach the  power light will not turn on. 

    Ready or the thermostat light on means that the poer is there and
    the set temp is reached. If your Vulcanizer is showing both light
    on. Chances are your Thermostat is bad. In this case the elements
    will not heat up as the Thermostat cuts of the power to the
    elements. 

    You may check the heating elements by wiring them directly.  If they
    are good they should start warming up  immediately. I have a feeling
    that this is just a stuck thermostat. 

    If you need any help let me know (online it would be better). I have
    the parts that you would need for the Vulcanizer. Thermostats,
    Heating elements etc.
