Jim,

I'm of the "the only dumb question is the one that doesn't get asked" school.
There are actually two ways to check the heater. With the power off, remove one
lead to the heater and measure between that and the other lead that is still
hooked up. Removing one lead isolates the element. Your measurement should be
48-52 ohms. A second way to check is with the power on check for 110V across
the leads. If you measure 110V the heater is bad, minute or no voltage means
it's OK.
