How can I tell the heating element is faulty and needs replacing?

A common symptom is loss of heat or defrost function when the refrigerator runs on AC power. Use a multimeter: if you detect voltage on one lead but no continuity through the element, the heating coil is likely open and should be replaced.

• Symptom: fridge works on gas or DC but not on 120Vac heat mode.
• Check: one wire has voltage but the element shows no continuity.
• Safety tip: always disconnect mains power before touching wiring.
