kettle can become a serious fire hazard.

PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
ACTION
A low reading may indicate a problem in
the kettle. One or more of the heat elements
may not be functioning properly. If the
element is not functioning, the possible
causes are:
1. The element has burned out.
2. A lead wire has burned off
one of the element terminals
due to a loose connection.
In either case the kettle must be removed
and the problem identified.
1. Remove kettle. (See section Kettle
Removal for instructions.)
2. Check for short circuits inside the kettle.
3. If wires must be replaced, be sure to use
nickel wire supplied by Cretors
Conventional copper or “stove wire will
have limited life.
4. Make a visual check for broken, loose,
burned or heat damaged wires. If there are
no obvious broken or loose wires shorting
out on the kettle, the elements must be
checked.
5. Perform a continuity test on the
elements. It is possible that one of the
elements has burned through the
insulation and the casing is shorting out
directly to the kettle bottom.
Continuity Test and Ohms Test
When checking Ohms, make sure that the meter probes are making good contact on the
terminals. Remove the nickel buss bars that connect the electrical terminals on the heat
elements.
Using a multimeter, check each element between the following points:
