How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug and allow the grill area to cool completely.
- Check ventilation: Ensure top and rear vents are not blocked by cabinets or objects.
- Locate grill thermal cutout: Usually clipped near the grill element or on the top of the cavity.
- Test thermal cutout: With a multimeter, check for continuity. An open reading at room temperature indicates a failed cutout.
- Inspect grill element: Look for visible damage or hotspots on the element.
- Replace faulty parts: Replace the grill thermal cutout and/or grill element with genuine Amica parts. Ensure the cutout is firmly clipped to the surface for proper sensing.
