Introduction
The heating elements can become quite hot. Therefore, make sure to unplug the device from the power supply and allow it to sufficiently cool down, before starting the disassembly. Also wear hand gloves, because the metal alloy surfaces can be greasy.
What you need
Step 1
Bella Cucina Mini Cupcake Maker 13465 Disassembly
- Open up the device.
- Remove the four 11 mm screws that attach the alloy steel body to the top plastic cover using the Phillips #1 screwdriver.
- Place the screws in the IFixit magnetic project mat.
- Remove the plastic cover.

Step 2
- Remove the LEDs from the springs that are located towards the front between the heating element and the cover.
- The heating element has a resistance of 39.4 ohm at room temperature.
- Remove the 6 mm screws that attach the springs to the main alloy body using a Phillips #2 screwdriver.

Remove the 6 mm screws that attach the springs to the main alloy body using a Phillips #2 screwdriver.
Step 3
- Flip the cupcake maker so that the bottom side faces upwards.
- Remove the two adjacent 12 mm screws using a Phillips #2 screwdriver.
- Remove the remaining 11 mm screw using a Phillips #2 screwdriver.
- Gently remove the case to reveal the space where the main power cable splits into two wires.

Gently remove the case to reveal the space where the main power cable splits into two wires.
Step 4
- Remove the 13 mm screw that is located in the middle of the back cover using the Phillips #2 screwdriver.
- Gently pull out the back cover to reveal the space containing the wires, heat fuse, and the insulating cover.

Gently pull out the back cover to reveal the space containing the wires, heat fuse, and the insulating cover.
Step 5
- Remove the 6 mm screw using a Phillips #2 screw driver that attaches the cable clamp and the insulating cover to the main body.
- Pull out the yellow wire from the clamp
- Remove the insulating cover.
- The bottom cupcake heating element is located below the insulating cover. It has a resistance of 39.4 ohm at room temperature.

Pull out the yellow wire from the clamp
Remove the insulating cover.
The bottom cupcake heating element is located below the insulating cover. It has a resistance of 39.4 ohm at room temperature.
Step 6
- Remove the two screws that attach the heat switch clamp to the body using the Phillips #2 screwdriver.
- Pull out the heat fuse.
- Be careful when removing the heat switch so that it does not break.
- The heat switch opens when the temperature is above 165 degree Celsius.
Remove the two screws that attach the heat switch clamp to the body using the Phillips #2 screwdriver.
Pull out the heat fuse.
Be careful when removing the heat switch so that it does not break.
The heat switch opens when the temperature is above 165 degree Celsius.
Step 7
- The device does not have any switch. It turns on automatically when the power cable is connected to a 120 volt AC supply. It has a power rating of 710 Watts.
- The current passes through the heat switch before going through the two heating elements.
- Both the green and orange LED light up when the device is working. However, the heat switch opens if the temperature becomes very high (exceeds 165 degree Celsius).
- Therefore, current stops flowing through the heating elements to prevent any accident.
- When the fuse melts, only the orange LED will remain on , indicating that the heating elements have been shut off.
