Grundig Grill Element Circuit Failure

Microwave grill function does not heat, but normal microwave heating works.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Open grill heating element, Faulty grill thermostat, Loose grill wiring, Failed grill relay on control PCB

Safety first: Unplug the microwave and allow the grill area to cool before servicing.

Step-by-step checks:

1. Visual inspection: Look at the grill element for visible breaks or burn marks.
2. Test element: With the cabinet removed, disconnect the grill element leads and check for continuity. Replace if open.
3. Check thermostat: Test the grill thermostat or thermal cut-out for continuity. Replace if open.

If the element and thermostat are good, the grill relay or control PCB may be faulty and should be replaced by a technician.
