Heating Element WPW10082892

Hi Michael, Thank you for your question. Set your multimeter to the Rx1 setting. The reading of a functional heating element varies between models, but will fall between zero and infinity, refer to your owner’s manual to determine what reading you should receive. If your reading is exactly zero or infinity, it is defective. If your heating element’s reading is outside the manufacturer’s recommended range, you will need a replacement heating element. If the thermostat is not working correctly, it should read closed at room temperature. If you have any questions, please let us know. We are open 7 days a week. We look forward to hearing from you!
