A. EARTH CONTINUITY CHECK

Appliance must be electrically disconnected - meter set on W (Ohms) x 1 scale and

adjust zero if necessary.
Test leads from any appliance earth point to earth pin on plug. Resistance should

be less than 0.1 W (Ohm), check all earth wires for continuity and all contacts

clean and tight.

B. INSULATION CHECK

Appliance electrically disconnected, all switches ON.
a) meter set on W (Ohms) x 1 scale.

Test leads from L to N in appliance terminal block. If meter reads «0» then there is a

short circuit.

b) meter set on W (Ohm) x 100 scale.

Repeat test with leads from L to E. If meter reads less than × (infinity) there is a

fault.

NOTE - Should it be found that the fuse has failed but no fault is indicated - a detailed continuity

check (i.e. by disconnecting and checking each component) is required to trace the faulty

component.
It is possible that a fault could occur as a result of local burning/arcing but no fault could be found

under test. However a detailed visual inspection should reveal evidence of burning around the

fault.
