My dishwasher stopped heating the water so I checked the heating element resistance and I get 13 ohms.
Well the manual asks that it be plugged in to at least a 15 Amp circuit and at 120 Volts I get R = V / I or 120/15 = 8 ohms just to get a ballpark of what it should be.
However, some website says that heating elements should be in the kilo-ohm range, so what is the error in my above thinking?
