Hi everyone,
I consider myself to be a beginner in the field of electronics so the question might sound stupid to some of you.
Last night I was working on electronic heater/stirrer from a lab. The heater part is working but the problem is somewhere in the stirrer circuit.
I traced in my mind how everything is connected and came to a short on the circuit which I then traced to a BD675 Transistor. The short occurs between collector and emitter (removed the transistor from the circuit to be sure). When I connect my multimeter in diode mode to the collector and emitter it starts beeping continuously in both directions. Does that indicate a faulty transistor?

Thank you
