STEP FOUR:
A multimeter / voltmeter is required
to perform the following test.
TURN OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE
Set the meter to the single Ohms setting
Do not measure continuity, this will not work.
NOTE: BE SURE THE ELECTRICITY IS TURNED OFF TO THE UNIT
Remove the front cover of the unit. At the end of the black heater body there are
two threaded silver rods with brass nuts on them (Where the wires connect). Take a
reading of the ohms value between these two rods and write it down (See figure
below).
DANGER!
PROCEEDING WITH THE NEXT TESTS
Ω
The Ohm Symbol
(The upside down horseshoe)
If the reading is less then 20 ohms on the
single (Rx1) scale or the (Rx10) scale, then
the element is good, if it is much greater.
e.g. 10,000 ohms or if you get a reading on
the "Rx1k, you will need to replace the
element. To do this, contact Technical
Service at 1-800-334-3393 for replacement
elements (Please write down the
resistance value before contacting
Technical Service. This will be very useful
to us. Also, have the order ref. and serial
numbers for your unit available for
Technical Service).
