Normal? in their tactile feel, or there is continuity through them? As anijet notes VOM, power off, fireplace unplugged.
Danger ** You may wish to employ a repair service**
Generally the manufacturer will often offer (website [Dimplex? etc.]) a wiring diagram. Could be one glued on the rear or inside an access panel.
There may be a Klixon thermal overload / thermal fuse tripped internally if it got too hot or the circulatory fan failed.
Older heating elements (similar to a clothes dryer) are prone to failure from vibration, dust collecting and overheating etc..
Not sure of your make and model? You vintage probably has parts obtainable readily. The newer Dimplex units are said to have digital circuit board failures. $100 a pop.
Best of luck, we use ours ALLOT! And would hate to be without it.
