You need to OHM check the 120 element, which should be about 60 to 75 OHM's depending on the wattage. BUT, ANY resistance other than OPEN the 120 element is Good. They do NOT operate anything under 100%. Either good or bad. The quicker way if you have a clamp on AMP meter is to clamp 1 wire of the 120 element and see the amp draw. From about 1.4 to 2.6 depending on the wattage rating. But, ANY amp draw will show it is good. LAST, The LINE voltage is critical on 120 volts. Below 115 volts, the Element will not get hot enough. Test the Line Voltage with a Digital multimeter AT the receptacle the refer is plugged into. Doug
