13-2 SHEATH HEATER
Sheath heater is a part for defrost. All heating wire is connected to only one line. So we can decide
Function part is defect or not when we check the resistance.
How to
measure
Set a ohmmeter connect to the 2 housing pin.
Measure the 2 pin connected to Sheath Heater.
If the ohmmeter indicate (V°ØV)/Watt=R is good condition,
ex) when Watt=260W, Voltage=1115V, R=(115x115) / 260=51Ω
But the ohmmeter indicate infinitely great
