To test the heater element:
•
Turn off all power at the circuit breaker or unplug the power
cord (120VAC)
•
Remove orange wire, both blue wires, and both red wires from
the heater element.
•
With the multimeter set to Ohms: touch the probes to the
terminals from which the red wires were removed.
•
If the multimeter displays "1" the heating element has failed and
must be replaced.
•
Normal Ohm readings for the heater coil (red to red) is between
65 Ohms and 90 Ohms.
•
Be careful to replace all wires as shown in this picture.
