Possible Causes
Open-circuit circular convection (ring) element, Open-circuit grill element, Burnt spade connector on top element terminals
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power at the breaker and verify with a tester before touching internal parts.
- Visual check inside cavity: Look at the top grill element and, if visible, the circular element behind the rear panel. Dark burn marks or blisters indicate failure.
- Access elements: Remove the rear inner panel (for ring element) or top cover (for grill). Note wiring positions or take photos.
- Test resistance: Disconnect wires and measure each element. A reading of open circuit (OL) means the element is blown and must be replaced.
- Inspect connectors: Check for overheated spade terminals. Replace any discolored or loose connectors and trim back damaged wire before fitting new terminals.
- Fit replacement: Install a Siemens-compatible grill or ring element, ensuring all screws are tight and the element is not touching the cavity walls.
