Set Appliance State:

Isolate Mains Power to appliance as per TOPs P4
Set Multimeter to Resistance Set meter to measure resistance
Disconnect the inline connector on the detection lead

Measurement:

Test 1:
Inspect the detection electrode for good condition, cleanliness, damaged ceramic, correct alignment as per the diagram shown and that there is a gap from tip of electrode to the burner of 5-6mm.
Test 2:
Measure the resistance from the tip of the detection electrode to the pin in the inline connector.
Expect continuity / zero resistance.
Is the electrode satisfactory and the resistance as expected?
Note:
This test is carried out with the electrode in situ but is shown removed for clarity.
