Firstly turn of the power before this test...Using a resistance or continuity tester you should get the following results:Short circuit: Very low resistance (nearly 0 ohms) or the bell will ring.Open circuit: Very high resistance (Somewhere in the range of Mega ohms) or the bell will not ring.The reason for this is because and open circuit has a gap in it (which has high resistance).The short circuit has wires that are crossed and so has a really low resistance.
To check a motor's windings for a short circuit, you can use a multimeter to measure the resistance between the winding terminals. A reading close to zero ohms indicates a short circuit, while an infinite or very high resistance suggests the windings are intact. Additionally, you can check for shorts between the windings and the motor frame by measuring resistance from the winding terminals to the frame; any low resistance reading indicates a short to ground. Always ensure the motor is powered off and disconnected before performing these tests for safety.
When checking ohms in a circuit, "OFL" typically stands for "overload" or "out of range." It indicates that the resistance being measured is beyond the maximum limit of the multimeter's capacity, often suggesting an open circuit or very high resistance. In such cases, it’s advisable to check the connections and components in the circuit for faults.
A Linear power transformer coil? use an Ohm meter and check the resistance of the coils. No resistance is an open circuit. Also check for a cross circuit from one side of the transformer to the other.

in order to avoid unwanted short circuit break downs.... short circuit can burn the transformer and motor winding.... Megger is the device used to check the insulation .
Continuity check tests if there is a complete path for electricity to flow between two points, indicating if there is a break in the circuit. Resistance check measures the opposition to the flow of electricity in a circuit, providing information about the quality of connections or components.

Ohmeter connected both ends ground circuit. Usually this circuit very short with minimal resistance due to that. Do you have a good solid ground?
To test for continuity in an electrical circuit using a multimeter, set the multimeter to the continuity or resistance setting. Then, touch the probes to the two points in the circuit you want to test. If there is continuity, the multimeter will beep or show a low resistance reading. If there is no continuity, the multimeter will not beep or show a high resistance reading.

To check resistance with a Micronta 22-191 multimeter, first set the dial to the resistance (Ω) setting. Next, connect the test probes to the corresponding terminals on the multimeter, with the black probe in the COM port and the red probe in the VΩmA port. Place the probes on the component or circuit you wish to measure, ensuring good contact, and read the resistance value displayed on the screen. Make sure the circuit is powered off before measuring resistance to avoid damage to the multimeter or inaccurate readings.
Ohm's law: voltage is current times resistance. Restating this; current is voltage divided by resistance, so increasing resistance would decrease current.
Taking some bulbs out of the circuit!! (I think :P) Taking some bulbs out of the circuit!! (I think :P) Use Ohm's law I = E/R. Add some values and check it out. You use the formula V = IR (where V and E are the same thing, voltage. I is the current. R is the resistance). If you add more resistance then your current will be lower. I would suggest looking at parallel and series resistance so that you can understand equivalent resistance.
use a vomm set to infinite resistance if you have reistance one way and not the other way. diode is good (must be isolated from circuit) if no resistance both directions diode D.O.A.
