Set Appliance State:

Isolate Mains Power to appliance as per TOPs P4
Set Multimeter to Resistance Set meter to measure resistance
Ensure the Boiler has been in operation and has reached its mid operating temperature

Measurement:

Disconnect the Yellow spaded wire (connection 3) and the White spaded wire (connection 6) from the Control Thermostat and measure the resistance between connections 3 and 6 on the Thermostat.
Do not turn the Thermostat fully down (Off position), but adjust the Thermostat between its fully high position and its low position. The resistance measured should show the Thermostat to be open circuit in its low position and short circuit in its fully high position.
Note.
Heating load can be reduced by turning off some radiators to reduce time required for test.
