Testing the old heater

I have tried testing my old heater (which I suspect is faulty) with a multimeter across the heating element terminals. I believe that an open circuit here means that the element is broken - is this correct?

    Hi there, an open circuit indicated on the multimeter would indeed suggest that the element is faulty.
