Possible Causes
Open grill element, Burnt selector switch contacts, Loose wiring to grill element, Faulty grill relay on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect the oven from mains power before accessing elements or switches.
Steps to check:
- Visual check of grill element: Inspect the grill element inside the cavity for blisters, breaks, or burn marks.
- Continuity test: Access the rear of the grill element and test for continuity with a multimeter. Replace if open.
- Selector switch: If your Montpellier oven uses a mechanical function selector, inspect the switch for burnt contacts or overheating.
- Wiring: Check all spade connectors to the grill element and selector switch for tightness and signs of heat damage.
- Replace faulty parts: Fit a new grill element or selector switch as needed. If both are good, suspect the control board relay.
