Ohms readings

I need to find out what is the acceptable ohms reading for the heating elements on a Norcold 1200.
Thanks

Most heating elements are just a few ohms when cold. The resistance goes up as they heat.

According to the Norcold Service Manual a good working heater element should have a ohms reading of 58-68 ohms.
