what you would need to do is not import the seed or any private keys..
instead you would have to import the MASTER PUBLIC KEY

dont follow the other peoples advice about importing private keys or seeds

i have not used electrum myself but may wallets just scan for the first address of possibilities until u press a buttonto check the next possibility. some wallets also dont scan the blockchain for all addresses, and some dont scan/rescan until you re-open the wallet software so it can update its position and realise it need to scan the blockchain

so simply find the MASTER PUBLIC KEY on your cold wallet. only import the MASTER PUBLIC KEY into electrum

then check the history tab. not the receive tab

if nothing shows up try to resync the wallet(usually simply restart the app)
