So I did this and the heater is not really running. I tried checking voltage across the circuit and I am getting 2.4V AC Is this enough to drive the circuit? I tested my circuit all the way to the input for the freezer compartment which also reads 2.4 V.
My question is
1. is 2.4V the correct voltage going across the heating element and
2. if not, where can I be checking upstream for the proper voltage?
I am definitely not getting enough current across the heating element when the freezer is in defrost mode.
