Hi Dave,

The element from the link above arrived today… resistance was roughly circa 270 ohms so I know my meter works now 🙂

Installed and tested and pleased to say it’s working.

All for £20 including next day delivery:cool:

Jobs a gud’un, thanks for your help

Yep it was max through the whole range. Heater is broken.

Thanks for your help diagnosing!

Hi Dave

I’m testing resistance and it’s just displaying 1, which I’m understanding is infinite (open circuit)?

Am I right in thinking this means the heating element is indeed dead?

I can’t get a resistance reading!

Thank you
Rob

Thanks Dave. I will test this first.

One last thing.. How do you check the existing element, are you looking for it not to be open circuit across it?

Looks straightforward enough, I’ll have a go at the weekend 🙂

Thanks for the reply Dave.

I didn’t realise it was so old, it was here when we bought the house 3 years ago and has had a good thrashing since

I put it on 90, waited 30-40 minutes and paused it… everything was cold.

So your guess is sounding more likely… off to you tube for some videos I guess, I have a MM so can check the resistance if I can find it 🙂

Many thanks,
Rob
