Problem with Craftsman Digital MultiMeter Model 82141

GardenTractorMan — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 21:16:51 GMT

Have you ever used a multimeter before? Is your water heater an electric water heater, and are you saying you are trying to test the heating element? Did you turn off the power to your water heater before you did anything?

It is difficult to figure out what is wrong without being there with you. The manual for the meter you mentioned is posted on Sears.com. One of the things the manual points out is the meter will give a reading of one if it is on the wrong setting. Which setting do you have the meter set to?

If you do not know what you are doing it can be dangerous to handle these things if you do not know what you are doing. You might consider hiring a trained professional rather than risk personal injury and/or damage to your home.

Problem with Craftsman Digital MultiMeter Model 82141

tcarnahan — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:44:53 GMT

I purchased a 82141 multimeter. My water heater is on the blink and I need to test the continuity of the elements. The manual says to put the black lead in the COM and the red lead in the "omega" ports. When you put the switch on the "continuity" setting, the meter reads 1 (open circuit) which I would expect. However, when you cross the red and black leads together, the meter should read close to zero and the audible alarm should go off ... my meter stays on 1 when I cross the leads and no alarm. So my wife took the meter back to the Sears store and they gave her another 82141 meter. I repeated the above procedure ... same results. Am I doing something wrong or is the meter defective (2 in a row)? Are the directions in the manual wrong? Any advice will be appreciated ... I am very close to asking for my money back and buying from Home Depot. Thanks, Tom

I seem to remember that last year I was sent 3 coupons in the mail around this time. I wonder if they will do it again.

Craftsman Generator, 5600

pooh1bear43113 — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 15:33:08 GMT

Thanks to you both! My son has taken very good care of it and I think I mentioned that it has run much less than 10 hours. We started it up yesterday and all systems are fine - it's so easy to start (much better than the first generator my DH purchased which was full crank).....this thing runs like a dream. Makes me wonder why I went to he expense of adding the Guardian System - but I'm getting older and think this was the best route for me - and someone will get an almost new portable for a pretty good price it appears.

thanks again.

Craftsman Generator, 5600

Going a bit further, as Madgolfer indicated, if it has had gas in the tank and has not been started for some time, it would be well to attempt to start it. If necessary, it may be wise to clean the fuel system, if you are mechanically inclined or know someone who is. If it will start and run properly, it will sell quicker, and be worth much more.

Craftsman Generator, 5600

madgolfer — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 15:26:48 GMT

Hi Pooh, today in New England with a million power outages 3 days after a storm it's priceless. New, in the box $1000. If it was left with gas in the tank for 2 years and the battery wasn't maintained it may be worth less than half of that. Hope this helps.

I bought a new Craftsman 5600 Watt Electric Start AC Generator in 2009. It has less than 10 hrs. of run time and I love t - but have since installed a whole house generator system. I can't find my receipt for the Craftsman and want to sell it privately - but cannot remember what I paid for it - and need to know what to ask for it.

Can someone help me?\

Thanks.

While I haven't had to return anything, this is precisely why I buy all craftsman tools. I know a lot of other tools have the same warranty, but no one has the convinience of taking the tool back to the store and getting back in a few minutes like sears.

Time to get out the multimeter and find out where the power ceases to 'flow'.

I had a drill that had the same issue. Not this exact drill but one that I used a few times and just died. Ended up being a bad trigger switch. Fixed it and it worked fine ever since.

If it's only been used 4 or 5 times in three years, it probably means the cells in your battery were discharged below zero as it sat on a shelf and can no longer hold a charge. That is a standard problem wth ni-cd batteries no matter what the brand, make, or manufacturer. If they're not used for a long period of time, the energy can discharge in the cells to at or below it's zero level causing the chemical reactions in the cells to die and they can no longer hold a charge. To keep a ni-cd battery lasting at optimum efficiency and for it's longest life, put in on a charge overnight once a month.
