Re: diplomat dw,hja8630

even a £2.99 multimeter would give you at least a continuity reading on the element. i have a seaward supernova plus pat tester. it’s the dogs b******* but it cant tell me if the elements open circuit unless its on heat cycle during a power-up test.
like the guys say, get yourself a stand alone insulation tester and you’d have diagnosed the elements status straight away.
finally of course it could take out a fuse. lets say that when it failed it went down to earth but since cooling off that earth fault has “healed” itself.
oven elements do this all the time.

Last time I looked there were plenty of excellent quality secondhand meggers on e-bay at very good prices. Heck, I sold my old one for a fiver on there when I got a more modern compact one. Was an analogue Eagle cost me £40 secondhand in 1988.
