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.
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.
