Possible Causes
Open-circuit element, Loose element connection causing arcing, Faulty temperature sensor feedback, Weak relay contacts
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect from mains before testing.
- 1. Identify source of clicking: Usually from the control board area as relays switch on/off.
- 2. Test elements: Measure resistance of all heating elements. Replace any that are open circuit.
- 3. Inspect wiring: Check for loose or burnt connections at the elements and control board.
- 4. Check sensor: Test the temperature sensor; if it reads incorrectly, the control may cycle the relay rapidly without heating.
- 5. Replace control board: If elements and sensor are good, the relay contacts may be burnt; replace the control board.
