Set Appliance State:

Set Multimeter to Resistance Set meter to measure resistance
Isolate Mains Power to appliance as per TOPs P4
Disconnect wires from the temperature sensor

Observation:

Measure the resistance across the exposed terminals of the thermistor.
Resistance will vary according to the temperature of the water.
The lower the temperature the higher the resistance.
The resistance should conform approximately to the table below:
Temperature °CResistance in kOhms
20-301050-780
30-40780-600
40-50600-450
50-60450-260
60-70260-150
