Troubleshooting the heating elements
Set the multi-meter to ohms. For a cushion element, touch the red and black probes
to the red and yellow pins. For a back element, touch the red and black probes to
the red and black pins. The meter should show that there is continuity through the
wires. A normal reading for either a cushion element or a back element is
approximately 5.0 to 7.0 ohm’s without any cutout in the element; 1 cutout of 2.5”
will increase the resistance to approximately 6.0-8.0 ohm’s; 2 cutouts of 2.5” will
increase the resistance to approximately 7.3-10.0 ohm’s. if the meter reads an open
(Mega ohm’s), there is a break in the circuit.
A test light will NOT work to test the continuity
