VERIFIED main issue is a voltage to ground/frame issue.
But to show I did my homework.
All thermal fuses/thermostats checked good
Thermistor checked good
Heating Element checked good (NOTE: There is NO CONTINUITY between the element and the frame; initially my results made me think this was happening)
Relay for the element (black and blue) wires contacts and voltage is confirmed on both wires.
The contact of the relay seems to be resulting in voltage going to ground instead of through the heating element.
So suspects in my mind: Short to ground by wire or short to ground by board
With the concern of short by wire, I started checking high voltage wires for continuity. I do find continuity on the 2 brown wires found on the other relay and on the brown wire going into the board (can provide photos if necessary).
SO, first question is, should I see continuity from my brown wire to ground?
If, YES, should I check anything else before sticking a new board in?
If not, new board here we come.
Thanks for your time and help
