Gram Selective Element Failure

Oven grill function works, but normal baking (top/bottom heat) does not.

Safety Warning

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 bottom or top element, Faulty selector switch contact for oven mode, Burned wiring to specific element, Relay failure for that circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect mains power.

Steps to check:

Test each heating element (top and bottom) for continuity; replace any open element.
Inspect wiring from the selector switch or PCB to the non-working element for burns or loose connectors.
On models with a mechanical selector, test the switch contacts for continuity in the affected mode; replace the switch if faulty.
If elements and wiring are good, the corresponding relay on the main PCB may have failed.

Warning: Ensure correct reconnection of all wires; miswiring can cause shorts or incorrect operation.
