Hello everyone,
I'm trying to troubleshoot my MES30 after I replaced the heating element, and I'm still not getting heat to the element. I wanted to verify if I'm testing for voltage correctly and how/where to step it along.
I'm getting no power at the back of the unit where the wiring comes in from the heating element. I opened up the bottom and I have 120v ac coming into what I think is a relay, and 120v ac leaving on the spade connector. From there I tested the other connection that goes to the heating element and I was only getting 10v ac. I'm not confident of what this signifies, or where I should test next.
My other question is could this be a ground issue ( I get an 120v ac reading when I test to the hot coming off the relay and to the back of the smoker- I believe that confirms the ground is good).
Thanks in advance for the help
