Possible Causes

Internal break in grill element, Poor connection at one terminal, Element support bracket causing hot spot, Incorrect replacement element fitted

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the mains before accessing the grill element.

  • 1. Visual inspection: Look at the grill element while briefly powered (qualified person only) to confirm uneven glow. Then disconnect power and allow to cool.
  • 2. Check terminals: Remove the top or rear panel to access grill terminals. Tighten any loose connections and clean corrosion.
  • 3. Test resistance: Disconnect the element and measure resistance. Compare with specification. If significantly higher than normal or intermittent when flexed, replace the element.
  • 4. Verify correct part: Ensure any replacement grill element matches the original Indesit part number and wattage.
