Set Appliance State:

Isolate Mains Power to appliance as per TOPs P4
Set Multimeter to Resistance Set meter to measure resistance
Remove spark electrode

Measurement:

Check the resistance spark electrode and its lead.
Thoroughly check for damage, cracked ceramic, distortion, spark gap and general condition.
Spark gap should be 4mm.
Expected resistance approx 1000 Ohms (1kOhm).
