Possible Causes

Open-circuit grill element, Loose or burnt terminals at grill element, Faulty grill relay on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power and let the oven cool before working near the top element.

  • Inspect element: Look for visible damage or breaks in the grill element.
  • Test continuity: Disconnect the element and measure resistance. Replace if open.
  • Check connections: Ensure the spade connectors are tight and not oxidized or burnt.
  • Control board: If the element and wiring are good, the grill relay may have failed. Replace the control board.

Note: Some Ikea ovens have dual-circuit grill elements; ensure both circuits are tested.
