The electric heating rod is not grounded but only shows about 58 0hms is this correct for a 120volt heating element. I hope someone can let me know so I'll know if I need to replace the element or go into the 120 wiring further. It stopped working during a trip of 5 days in one spot. Works fine on propane.
bad element. 60 ohms means a power draw of about 2 amps. power would be about 240 watts. power should be around 1200 watts, drawing about 10 amps. resistance should be around 10 to 12 ohms.
