I am looking for a place where I can get 8 inches or a foot of resist

What type of supply house or business do I start my search with.

It does sound like you're looking for a heating element, not a
resistance wire. Why not replace the heater?
It is not a heater. It is a unit with a heated surface and a pan with
a special column thru which a column and it supports a special
stirring paddle. We have searched for such.

*From my assistants email
" Tefal no longer advertises it as you said and it didn’t mention
parts available under the section for repair. I will keep looking."

should be a wattage and voltage stamped into the metal. This should help
to locate a similar element if the manufacturer can't get you a replacement
I could post a picture of the heat element. What is a good place to do
so?

Maybe a picture of the entire device would be
good also, so that how that heating element/
Calrod is being used by the appliance...

Ok I will try but to get to the heating unit I had to remove some of
the wires. They make it very difficult to get inside of newer things,
I guess to keep people from repairing them.
