Can you post complete Model and Serial Number? THAT model (I assume 1980's-early 90's) had a major recall that is still ongoing. Do you and did the Norcold phone tech even ask about the recall? It NEEDS to be done if it has not. They will send a complete new harness/Eyebrow and control board if it still needs the recall. The normal ohms is about 45 to 55. If you are not sure, just connect the 2 wire leads from the element to an extension cord(refer off and the back cold) see if the burner area heats up HOT in about 10 to 15 minutes. If NOT then the element is bad. Also, IF you have 120 current at the 2 spades on the control board that connect to the heater and it does NOT get hot, the heater is bad. They either work or they do not. No middle ground. The recall involves removing 120 current from control wiring and Norcold's new harness has all 12 volt DC control in all harness wiring. Doug
