How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before accessing the grill element area. Surfaces may be very hot after use.
Steps:
- 1. Confirm mode: Ensure you have selected a grill or combination mode, not microwave-only.
- 2. Visual check: During a grill cycle, look through the door (without opening) to see if the grill element glows red. If not, it may be open.
- 3. Advanced testing: With the unit unplugged, access the grill element and test it for continuity with a multimeter.
- 4. Check wiring and thermostat: Inspect wiring to the element and any inline grill thermostat for continuity.
Resolution: Replace the grill element or thermostat as needed.
