Possible Causes
Open-circuit grill element, Burnt grill element terminals, Faulty grill selector switch (on knob models), Grill relay failure on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect mains power before accessing elements or switches.
Steps:
- Visual check: Inspect the grill element for sagging, cracks, or burn marks.
- Continuity test: From the rear, disconnect the grill element terminals and measure resistance. An infinite reading indicates a failed element.
- Inspect selector switch: On models with a mechanical function selector, remove the control panel and inspect the grill contacts for burning or mechanical failure.
- Replace parts: Replace the grill element if open or damaged. If the element is good but not powered, suspect the function selector switch or control board relay.
Tip: Avoid using foil directly against the grill element; this can cause hotspots and premature failure.
