The multimeter needle does not move or is stuck.
Common root cause: Needle jammed due to impact or improper storage.
Step-by-step solution: With the multimeter off (selector on OFF or highest ACV/DCV setting), gently tap the side of the unit. If the needle frees up, check if it moves smoothly.
💡
Pro tip: Always store the multimeter with the selector on the highest voltage setting or OFF to protect the needle.
