Salter Grill Element Failure

Microwave grill function does not brown food; grill element does not glow red.

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 wiring to grill element, Failed grill relay on control PCB

Safety: Unplug and allow the grill element to cool before inspection.

Steps:

1. Visual check: Start a grill-only cycle and observe (through the door) whether the grill element glows after a few minutes. If it remains dark and food does not brown, the element may be open.
2. Technician testing: A technician can test the grill element for continuity and inspect wiring and the grill thermostat/thermal cut-out.
3. Replace element: Fit a new Salter-compatible grill element if the original is open or physically damaged.
