Checking resistors to see if there good!

[backyardbuilt]

I have a multimeter but haven't messed with resistors in so long what do I set it at to check and see if they are good. Thanks!

Look for the Omega symbol, should be on the dial somewhere.

Just incase you want to know what the resistor's color codes mean:

To check a resistor with a multimeter, one or both legs of the resistive element have to be removed from the circuit. If this isn't done, then other elements of a ckt will throw the reading off in most cases. When checking resistance it doesn't matter which leg you hook to which probe.

Thanks for the replies and the chart got it fixed.
