You have to have a simple multimeter to run such test.

The following article on our forum will explain in detail how to run a continuity test - http://forum.appliancepartspros...continuity-ohmmeter.html

I'm getting 0.5 between the two terminals on all settings except the timed dry setting which is reading 1.

Do the same test for terminals "T" & "W", "TM" & "OR" and "TM" & "WB". Do not forget to remove the wires from the terminals before test it.

Just my luck...I purchased a new one of these on 9/1 last year. Now I'm beyond the one-year warranty period. Thanks for all of your help Gene. Looks like I'll be ordering another one.
