For general knowledge.... On my Bosch Nexxt 300 series WFMC2201UC, the specifications from the repair manual are as follows. Measure resistance all parts disconnected. Heater 13.7 - 15.2 ohms NTC 22.8 - 27.4 kilo ohms @68 degrees F. Water inlet valves 2.7 - 4.5 kilo ohms. Drain pump 140 - 200 ohms. Hope this helps some people with their repairs.
Please, my Hotpoint Aquarius WM62P is starting to fill with water then the breaker in my fuse box is tripping. If I disconnect the wires to the heater element (leaving the thermistor wires connected). and try it, machine then works ok and goes through the cycle without tripping the power. I have a multimeter and checked the resistance of the element, I get 26 ohms which seems correct. I don't have a megometer (Insulation tester) to check that. All the wiring to and from the element looks good. Do you think it is the element that is needing replaced due to an insulation fault?
@@paulbrowne6087 this is an automatic digital multi meter and was set to auto ranging, if you have a standard meter set it to max 200ohms or continuity, just to make sure there is a connection, but you’re right there could be more information about multimeters, I will take that as constructive criticism, thank you for your time!

Absolutely
Thanks a lot, Richard. Very important information on insulation and resistance values!

Thanks very much Richard! Very helpful.
Thanks Richard.
good explanation.
OL means 'Open Loop'
Hi my machine samsung washer shows me code CH i changed heater but still shows me the code can you tell me what i do thank u
Ol means open line not overloaded 👍
Yeah....knows his stuff
Help, please. I got no resistance when I checked my element. Do I need to buy a new one?
Inefable Theo, if no resistance, it means open circuit, if you have your multi meter set up properly.... so yes needs element :)
You you did not press the test button on mega meter
Maybe if you had zoomed in a little we could se what was going on.
This is utter shite without you showing clearly what setting you should use on the multimeter.
