How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave and allow it to cool before inspection.

Steps to evaluate grill function:

  • 1. Use grill-only mode: Set the microwave to grill-only and run for several minutes. The grill element should glow red and radiate heat.
  • 2. Check for smell or noise: If nothing happens (no glow, no heat), the element or its control is likely open.
  • 3. Avoid touching element: Even if not glowing, do not touch the element directly.

Repair: The grill element and its wiring are high-temperature components mounted inside the cavity and should be tested and replaced by a technician.
