A multimeter tutorial on Youtube said that to test my washing machine inlet valve solenoid for continuity I can use either the lowest ohms setting (200 on my DT830B) or the continuity setting. If I try the ohms setting the digital readout does not move from 1. If I try the continuity setting it goes to 12.2 on my original part but 12.02 on my new replacement part.
Why doesn't using the ohms setting work when the continuity setting does?
