Description
Replacement part for the 200L commercial autoclaveA matched pair of OEM-specification heating elements for our 200L Commercial Pressure Sterilizer and similar 200L vertical autoclaves. Built to the same voltage, wattage and thread specification as the factory-installed elements, so they drop in and run exactly like the originals. Stocked in the U.S. and ready to ship, so a worn element doesn't take your production down for weeks.

When it's time to replace your heating elements
Heating elements are a wear item. With daily commercial use they typically last two to three years, and they rarely fail all at once — performance drifts first. Replace the pair if you notice any of these:
- Heat-up time creeping well past what the machine did when new
- The chamber struggles to reach or hold 121°C / 15+ PSI on a normal load
- One element has visibly failed and the other is the same age
- Heavy scale, pitting or corrosion on the element sheaths
Replace both together. The two elements share the 8 kW load. Swapping in one new element alongside a tired one brings back only part of the performance and puts you right back here in a few months.
What's included
- Two (2) replacement heating elements built to factory OEM specification
- Same voltage, wattage, dimensions and thread as the factory-installed elements
Installation overview
Replacing the elements is a straightforward job for anyone comfortable working on 208–240V equipment. The general sequence:
- Shut off power at the breaker and disconnect the unit. Confirm the chamber is fully cooled and depressurized.
- Drain the water from the chamber.
- Open the element access panel, label the wiring, and disconnect the leads from the old elements.
- Remove the old elements and clean the mounting surfaces of scale and residue.
- Install the new elements, reconnect the leads exactly as labeled, and close the panel.
- Refill with filtered or RO water to the normal fill level and run a test cycle to confirm normal heat-up.
Working with 208–240V power. If you are not comfortable with high-voltage wiring, have an electrician do the swap. Our in-house autoclave team offers free technical support and can walk you through the procedure — contact us before you start.

While you're in there: the hatch gasket is the other wear part on this machine. If yours is due, grab the 200L replacement gasket in the same order and do both in one shutdown.
Frequently asked questions
Will these fit my autoclave if I didn't buy it from Midwest Grow Kits?
They fit our 200L Commercial Pressure Sterilizer and similar 200L vertical autoclaves that use the same 8 kW two-element configuration. If you are unsure, send us a photo of your existing elements and the data plate on your unit and we will confirm fit before you order.
Are these genuine OEM elements?
They are built to the exact factory OEM specification — same voltage, wattage, dimensions and thread as the elements installed in the machine at the factory. They are the same elements we use for our own in-house production autoclaves.
Can I replace just one element?
You can, but we don't recommend it. The two elements age together, so one new element next to a worn one only partially restores heat-up performance. Replacing the pair gets you back to factory heat-up times and avoids a second shutdown a few months later.
How long do heating elements last?
Approximately two to three years with daily commercial use. Water quality matters — running filtered or RO water keeps scale off the elements and extends their life.
Do I need an electrician to install them?
The job is not complicated, but it does involve 208–240V wiring. If you are comfortable disconnecting power and swapping labeled leads, most owners do it themselves. If not, any electrician can handle it, and our technical support team is available to walk you through it.
Do you stock other 200L replacement parts?
Yes. We stock gaskets, heating elements and temperature sensors for the 150L and 200L machines, and control boards are available by phone. Most parts ship the same or next business day.
