Samurai Appliance Repair Man's Blog

Wrong.  

Yes, you still need to install the heater kit.  Don't believe me?  Yeah, I know, I'm just a semi-lucid, mostly-fermented Samurai so, heck, I don't blame you-- half the time, I don't believe me, either!  But perhaps you'll believe Chief Master Appliantologist DurhamAppliance:

get a small screwdriver or pointy object and press in the tabs from below the touch pad.  Instructions come with the kit and quite easy


You get some splicing thingamadoodles with the kit..(red things in the following picture)  per instructions ..simple, just clamp the watchimacallits on designated wires and  ta da!. .Bob's your uncle! Then strut around the kitchen shouting "yoo hoo! "Who's yo daddy?"  "How ya like me now", 'I be da man!" .."dont taze me bro!" or simply say them to yourself while asking for the check.
