I have a problem with my electric fan oven and suspect a faulty element (gone to earth) soon as I put the oven on the mains trips. Because I do not own a megger meter can the element be tested by removing the electrical connectors taking care to insulate the connectors and then trying the oven to see if the tripping problem has stopped, if so does this mean that there is a fault with the element?

Would have been helpful having some explanation as to why you look for the resistance in an element and what happens when elements start to deteriorate or fails completely.

At 01:30 you say to "set the meter to ohms" but you put it in diode/continuity mode instead? Is there any advantage by using that mode over resistance?

Hello Sir, I have a question. Not knowing the terminologies or correct words to describe and identify which or what part is faulty; I am therefore asking would a "thermal fuse" be equal to or the same as the circular oven "element"? I ask this because I have a Leisure CMCF 96X Range cooker and after a four yearly general in house electrical test by professional electricians the digital clock display started flashing with a bleeping alarm sound when switched back on. Following the manual to clear and rest the timer did not clear this fault it just continues bleeping. So I did a web search, surprisingly this is very common thus all eyes point towards a replacement digital clock display and said thermal fuse, however trying to find an image of it only comes up and shows as an element. Can you please help out and confirm this for me before buying it myself. Kind regards.

refer to your video time at 2:47 that type of heating element is similar as my fujioh fv-el53 oven

You might correct the subtitles: ohms not homes and Megger not Mega!

My oven elements last about 3 mths then blows. 3 pin round.
