  • Checking resistance value over each component with a multimeter. Broken element would usually give you an open loop. And thermostats have a specific resistance they should be, but again open loop wouldn’t be a good sign.

    I’ve not done a huge amount of fault finding on boilers and stuff but that’s my basic understanding.

  • Nice - thanks.

    Turns out that one of my multimeters doesn't work at all, and the other is flaky af.

    Neither the element nor the thermostat seems fucked - Both have reasonable resistance, and the thermostat resistance is infinity when it is supposed to.

    Back to testing!

  • Fuse gone somewhere? Perhaps test for voltage at the various points in the chain, assuming you can get to them while it is on safely enough.
