So that read 3.70 (on the 20k ohm setting on multimeter). I think continuity looks ok as the reading was consistent with the door open/closed and with gentle tugging on the wires from the bottom end too.
Couple of other observations – I think the control board had some warmth to it, not sure if that’s normal when the power has been left on, mostly the capacitors – the X2 square capacitors and the cylindrical ones. Also the 2 blue wires first reading I took was 4.56 (on the 20k setting) but 3.7 on all other readings – may have been my error.
Thanks, but unfortunately the new big x2 didn’t fix it. Is it worth working through the smaller components. Or, feels like a stupid question, but do you know what these icons mean? I can’t find the manual, so not sure if they could be related to an issue:

Dave, thanks. Could this blue one on the board be the one you mean?

I’ve tested with the meter (Ohms setting) and it seems to behave the same as the new ones I’ve ordered, so I’m not convinced it’s the issue… will try anyway tonight.
The smaller light blue one beside it is also labelled x2. Any guidance welcome. Thanks again.
Hi Dave, I’ve just checked them now for continuity (had only visually checked before). All good from the plug that goes into the heater up to the control board & switch where they connect.
What would you do next? Anything else on the control board that is likely to be a problem?
Just where the wires connect – I took the connector off and tested on the two terminals there. The heater unit was still in place.
Hi Dave, I’ve got an issue with the heater not heating either. The heater reads 28 ohms, and the wiring looks ok. I replaced the two relays on the control board, but it’s still not fixed (the relays might’ve been fine – I didn’t really know how to test them).
The safety stats you mention – are these fuses? And do you know where I’d find them – does the heater need to be taken out?
