How to check coils for resistance
Set voltmeter to OHM function.
Place a probe on each node of coil.
If reading shows 5.5. to 7.0Ω Coil is good
If reading shows .0Ω Coil is shorted out. Replace.
If reading shows .Overload Coil is damaged by burn or physical damage. Replace.
How to check for broken wire inside cable for solenoid valve
Set voltmeter to OHM function.
Place one of the leads on one end of the circuit. Place the other lead on the other end of the circuit.
Listen to see if the voltmeter beeps if it has this function; this indicates that the circuit is connected and complete.
Check the display to see if it has a value or reads "O.L." If there is a value displayed, this confirms continuity and a
complete circuit.
If the display reads "O.L." and the ohmmeter does not beep, then the circuit is incomplete and there is no
continuity. The primary cause for a lack of continuity is the wire being broken somewhere along its length.
