Possible Causes

Open grill element, loose grill element terminals, wiring harness damage to grill circuit, failed grill relay on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power and ensure the oven is cool before touching the grill element.

  • Visual inspection: Look at the grill element for visible breaks, blisters, or burn marks.
  • Test continuity: Disconnect the grill element leads and measure resistance. An open reading indicates a failed element that must be replaced.
  • Check terminals: Ensure the element terminals are tight and not oxidized. Clean and tighten as needed.
  • Inspect wiring: Follow the wires from the element to the control board, checking for heat damage or loose connectors.
  • Control board: If the element and wiring are good, the grill relay on the EOC may be faulty. Replace the control board if no voltage is supplied to the element during grill operation.
