thermostat which will react to an ice cube, and the heating coil which reads zero resistance. I'd say thats a bad heater.
I wouldn't. Zero ohm heaters blow fuses and circuit breakers, or else start fires. No _continuity_ sounds like a bad heating element. Heaters have low resistance, especially cold. One must be sure that your cheapie (?) meter is capable of making a good reading. I really like Fluke's 80 series meters.
Besides, a bad heating element won't make the thing stay on continuous defrost. That's a control problem, or else your heat pump system is NFG. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
