Default Dishwasher heating element.

I'm trying to fix the "hot dry" function on my dishwasher--as is, I get no
steam, no heat, and no drying. After seeking some advice, I removed the
heating element and tested its resistance with a multimeter. It said 0
OHMs! I figured it was broken and got another, but that says 0 too!!
Does this make sense?

Many heating elements have resistances that are less than 25 ohms.
How good is your multimeter between 0 and 20 ohms?
