Continuity of Electrical Tests

Continuity

• Use the "Ohms" function of your multimeter to test for electrical continuity.
• All continuity tests are made with power removed from the appliance--that means having the appliance unplugged.
• The lower the ohms read on the meter, the greater the continuity.
• Most switchs, thermostats and other contacts that are supposed to be closedshould read 2 ohms or less if they have proper continuity.
• If you read something higher than this, the electrical control you're testing is probably bad and should be replaced.
