Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and allow the grill to cool.
User checks:
- Visually inspect the grill element during operation (through the door) to see if it glows red after a few minutes.
- Ensure food is placed close enough to the grill as per the manual.
Internal checks (experienced users):
- Remove the outer cover.
- Inspect wiring to the grill element for loose or burnt connections.
- Test the element resistance; compare with service data. A significantly higher resistance than spec indicates a weak element.
Repair: Replace the grill element if weak or open. If the element is good but not powered, the control board or relay may need replacement by a technician.
