Back in March he swore the visual check was all you ever needed, so I skipped my meter on a Kenmore and swapped in a new element that read open the second I finally tested it. Cost me the part plus a second trip out to a house in Fairview. Any of you still trust the eyeball over the multimeter on heating elements?
