Why is my Multimeter not functioning as well in continuity mode

My Sanwa YX360TRF Analog Multimeter has malfunctioned!

I had set the dial to 750VAC and I tested it on a 220VAC power supply and I heard a mini-explosion inside the tester.

I replaced its battery and fuse after it had blown. Now it gives me false readings.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Sadly, it does sound like your meter has become damaged internally. As much as I like analog meters they just don’t hold up as well as a digital unit.

I think its time to upgrade to a digital meter ;-}
