Possible Causes
Partially open grill element, Low supply voltage, Faulty grill thermostat or sensor, Weak grill relay contacts
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and allow the grill element to cool before inspection.
- Step 1 – Visual check: During grill operation, the element should glow red after a short time. If it stays dark or only partially glows, suspect a fault.
- Step 2 – Inspect wiring: With the cabinet removed, check wiring to the grill element and thermostat for loose or burnt connectors.
- Step 3 – Test element resistance: Measure resistance across the element. A significantly higher than normal resistance may indicate internal damage; replace the element.
- Step 4 – Check thermostat/sensor: Ensure the grill thermostat or sensor is properly mounted and connected. Replace if open-circuit.
