Hi, I have a 150w heated towel rail with an electronic timer (time guard FST117) which has stopped working. I assumed the timer had died as the over ride button no longer has a positive click when pressing on. Therefore bought a replacement to change like with like without changing any wiring. However, before changing decided to use my multimeter (kewtech 117) to make sure there were no voltages after turning off breaker switch then decided to checking the heating element continuity - I took the wiring of this out of circuit & connected it in series with the multimeter and am not getting the continuity buzzer sounding, however it does give a reading of 112 ohms. The buzzer sounds if I touch the meter probes together. So, my question is, is the problem with a bad heating element rather than the timer? Many thanks for help with this.
