Continuity and or resistance thereof.

 

I only know how to do continuity on my mm.

 

Check continuity on element and thermostat.

 

Good advice and if you have a multimeter you can do all that and check the thermostat and element with it before dropping money on any new parts.

How much will it cost to get a woman in?

 

Well, continuity is only a resistance measurement compared against a threshold to give a yes/no result. The resistance threshold is usually about 25 ohms, but it varies from one multimeter to another. So if you measure the resistance of a circuit and it is 50 ohms there's no continuity, but if it's 20 ohms the multimeter will bleep indicating continuity.

For a heating element, it's better to measure the resistance. For example, for most elements you would expect a resistance between 20 and 120 ohms. If, on your particular oven, the element should be 30 ohms, but was actually 100 because of a fault, you'd never know if you just measured continuity. You can get the correct resistance by measuring a known good element, if available, or online.

Just switch to the Ohms range and away you go.

 

That's easy for you to say.
