Test the old element (optional)
If you need to confirm whether the heating element is flawed, check the resistance with your multimeter. Here’s how:
- Set your multimeter for an ohms reading.
- Put one multimeter probe on one of the element terminals and the other probe on the other terminal. Look for a resistance reading.
- If there’s no resistance, it indicates the electrons cannot flow through the element to heat it. That’s why your oven isn’t heating. A new heating element will correct the problem.
