Possible Causes
Failed grill element, Loose or burnt grill element connectors, Open grill thermostat (if separate), Faulty grill relay on control PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect mains power before working on the oven.
Steps to check:
- Visual check: Inspect the top grill element inside the cavity for sagging, cracks, or burn spots.
- Access terminals: Remove the top or rear cover of the oven to access the grill element terminals. Check for heat damage or loose spade connectors.
- Continuity test: Disconnect the wires and measure resistance across the grill element. A healthy element typically reads 15–40 Ω. Replace if open.
- Reassembly: Fit a new Tower-compatible grill element, ensuring all terminals are tight and insulated from the cabinet.
Important: If the element is good, further diagnosis of the grill relay and control board should be done by a qualified technician.
