Ok in the mean time do you know anyone that might have a digital multimeter?
If so see if you can borrow it and test the heating element. I believe it may be good. Your tester may not be whats needed to check this.

Hey bro.

Having trouble with the Manage Attachments feature. When I click on Choose File, nothing happens. If you don't mind, text me your phone number and I'll send them from there I know that works. My number is 609 431-3539. I took pictures of the various component and the heating element.
Thanks

OK. I'll talk to my next door neighbor. He has just about everything. Does the multimeter work the same way as a continuity tester? I'm guessing there would be meter or numerical output. If so, what should it be testing at.

If he doesn't have one, I'll just go to Lowe's or Home Dept , buy one and then return it when I'm done. How much would it cost for a multimeter that will give me the readings I need to see?

I know you mentioned in a previous post that you were only interested in the two large terminal connections on the cycling thermostat. I just happened to test the smaller connections on the cycling thermostat and the light on the continuity tester did not light. I should have read your earlier post where you suggest replacing the cycling thermostat.

Does this mean the cycling therm is bad?

Sorry for the flurry of posts but could you give me the party number for the cycling thermostat? I tried doing a search on this site and I didn't see anything that looked like the one I currently have. Maybe they updated the part like they did with the hi limit thermostat. Thermos
