Possible Causes

Partially failed grill element, Weak convection heater, Failing convection fan, Faulty temperature sensor calibration

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug and cool the unit before accessing grill or convection components.

  • 1. Compare with manual: Check expected preheat times in the OK manual. Some delay is normal.
  • 2. Inspect grill element: Look for dark spots or breaks. A partially open element may still heat but weakly.
  • 3. Check convection fan: Ensure the fan runs strongly in convection mode. Weak airflow reduces performance.
  • 4. Test temperature: Use an oven thermometer to verify actual temperature versus setpoint.
  • 5. Replace weak elements, fan motor, or temperature sensor as needed.
