I have a Commercial Electric handheld digital multimeter. I'm trying to test parts of an icemaker and was told from this website to: Conduct this test with the refrigerator unplugged. Test the mold heater for resistance using a multitester. Set the multitester to the ohms setting X1. Place one probe into the hole labeled "H" and the other probe into the hole labeled "L". The multitester should read in the range of 60 to 90 ohms.
This multimeter does not have X1 on the meter scale. There is 200, 2K, 20K, 200K, etc.

I don't know how to test. Please advise.

The x1 setting is the lowest setting, so in your case use the 200 setting.
