Is this a correct statement? I used an OHM reading meter to test the original heating element and the new heating element and I received the same reading on both. I am confused. Any guidance and/or information provided would be appreciated. Thank you.

You may be using too high an ohm scale. Use the the most sensitive scale often 0 to 200 ohms.
