How to set GDT-311 Digital Multimeter to x 1000 ohm setting?

Hi yes set the dial to 600 on the DC voltage for 275 Volts DC::: 2000m to 600 Volt DC ::::: dial in photo is pointing to DC voltage.:::::::.black
200 to 500 is AC voltage ::::: right hand side is Ohm's resistance .200 ohm to 2000K- Ohm ..1k-ohm=1000.Ohms.....cheers

First thing to check is the heating element in the bottom of the tub. if there are any areas on it that actually look burned through, as from an electrical short, it will need to be replaced. If nothing is visible, the next step will be to look under the dishwasher for the 2 wires going to the heating element terminals (I'm presuming you have unplugged the dishwasher). Pull them off, and with a multimeter set to ohms, check the reading at the two heater terminals. If it's good, you should have a 12 to 14 ohm reading. If it shows 0 then the element is toast and needs to be replaced. Replacement is an easy and straightforward job, and elements aren't expensive. If the element checks good, then you most likely have an issue on the control board or timer (if a dial type control).

there must be internal short somewhere - open unit up and check

HD48S is 8 or 11 pin timer.

Always test the pins with multimeter set to ohms to check which pins have continuity.
Usually with Pin timers, the Input terminals give power to the timer.
The other pins or terminals are dry, which means they have not power when input voltage is applied.
With dry terminals, you add a jumper wire from the input terminal to the Com terminals.

so do I
I will call them and post the answer

Check your ignition coils.Take a multimeter and remove the plug wires.Now the coils are all paired so you need to set your multimeter to read ohms.MEASURE THE RESISTANE ACROSS EACH SET OF COILS.They should all read within 1000 ohms of each other.If not replace the coil pack assembly.

Hello,

The soap trap and its cap covers the soap in your dishwasher after you fill it and then swings open to dispense the soap when the wash cycle starts. If your dishes aren't getting clean or you notice the soap trap door is still shut after the dishwasher finishes a load, it may indicate a problem with the soap trap you'll need to fix.

Instructions Things You'll Need:

• Dishwasher soap cap replacement,Screwdriver,Multimeter.

1. 1 Open the lid of the soap trap and clean out any leftover soap. Soap and detergent, especially the inexpensive brands, can clump together and harden inside the soap trap instead of releasing into the water during the wash cycle. Change to a different soap and run the dishwasher again. See if the clumps disappear and if this solves the problem.
   
2. 2 Remove the old dishwasher soap trap cap and replace with a new one. The plastic cap should slide or pop off. The instructions for the new cap should instruct you how to slide or pop it back into place. A new cap may solve the problem if the cap is not opening during use.
   
3. 3 Turn off power to the dishwasher by either turning off power at the circuit breaker panel box or moving the unit out from the counter and disconnecting it from the power supply. Always do this when working inside the dishwasher to avoid electrocution.
   
4. 4 Open the dishwasher door and remove the screws to take off the front paneling. Leave the screws holding the bottom hinges to the door in place to keep the door itself from falling off. Depending on your model, you may need to remove some clasps as well. Your goal is to gain access to the inside of the door and control panel so you can see the different knobs and buttons, and can fix the parts controlling the soap trap.
   
5. 5 Locate your soap trap. Close the soap trap cap and insert a screwdriver to push on the metal piece -- called a bi-metal switch -- connected to the soap trap cap until the cap swings open. If the metal looks out of place and the cap doesn't swing open like it should, push the metal back into place with the screwdriver and try again. If this does not fix it, remove the metal piece and replace with a new one.
   
   
   
   If you can't find the metal piece, your dishwasher may use a wax motor assembly instead. Located near the soap trap cap, it's typically a small red or maroon colored plug with a small black rod sticking out of the end. Remove the wax motor for testing if you don't have a bi-metal switch.
   
6. 6 Locate the round timer motor inside your dishwasher. Refer to your dishwasher's instruction manual for help identifying the different parts. Typically, the timer motor is a round piece with holes in it, and may be located near the timer control on the dishwasher itself. Remove the timer motor from the dishwasher.
   
7. 7 Test the timer motor and wax motor assembly using a multimeter .Choose one of the motors to test and place one probe from the multimeter to one wire of the motor and the other probe to the other wire. For the timer motor, Part Select.com suggests setting the multimeter to the "x1000" ohms setting and you should get a reading of 2000 to 3500 ohms. If your reading is significantly different, the part is bad. For the wax motor assembly, set to the "x1" ohms setting and touch the probes to the wires. If the screen shows the infinity symbol, the motor is bad. Replace either part as needed.
   

HOPE THIS HELP?

Thanks.

Set it to OHM or resistance and read the element

Make sure your multimeter is set for AC voltage.
