I checked it at the incoming connection of the control board (junction box) and at the receptacles that connect to the element plugs. Voltage is good there. The elements are corded and sealed at the element end with custom cord ends. There's no way I can check directly at the element without breaking the seal, but since both elements are new, as are the cords that came with them, I assumed I wouldn't have gotten two bad elements.
I don't know if it makes any difference but I bought the elements at Backyardplus.com. I don't know much of their reputation but they are pretty much the only game in town for parts this old.
