| [title] Testing the outlet thermistor | |
| [* black] If you aren't sure how to use a multimeter, take a look at [guide|25632|this guide|new_window=true]. | |
| [* black] Set your multimeter to the ohms (Ω) setting. If your meter has more than one scale for ohms (Ω), set it to (Rx1000). | |
| [* black] Touch the probes together to make sure you get a reading that is very close to zero. This makes sure your meter is working properly to measure resistance. | |
| [* black] Touch the probes to the contacts on the thermistor. The reading ***at room temperature*** should be about 12.5-14.5 kΩ. The photo shows a reading for a good thermistor. | |
| - | [* black] If your thermistor reads outside the range above, or reads no continuity (OL) or 0.00 Ω , replace it as shown in the next step. If it checks out, go to the conclusion. |
| + | [* black] If your thermistor reads outside the range above, or reads no continuity (OL) or 0.00 Ω , replace it as shown in the next step. If it checks out, go to the conclusion you are done. |
