| Dec 2, 2016 at 16:55 | comment | added | Oliver Williams | I can hear a click when the heating elements engage and also when they disengage. No breakers are tripped. I own a multimeter and have installed electrical myself years ago, so I'm comfortable, just don't know where to start testing. | |
| Dec 2, 2016 at 15:59 | comment | added | Tester101 | Could be a bad contactor, bad safety switch (limit), or maybe a bad control circuit. Can you hear the contactor opening and closing when the elements turn on/off? Are any of the breakers tripped? Do you own a multimeter? Are you comfortable poking around in the system and taking measurements? If you don't know much about electrical work, stop now and call a professional. | |
