Possible Causes

Failed upper grill element, Loose or burnt grill element connectors, Faulty grill relay on control board, Overheated wiring to grill element

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker and verify the oven is dead before touching the grill element or wiring.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Inspect grill element: Open the door and visually inspect the top grill element for sagging, cracks, or burn marks. Check the support brackets.
  • 2. Access terminals: Remove the top or rear cover to access the grill element terminals. Look for heat damage or loose spade connectors.
  • 3. Test element: Disconnect the wires and measure resistance. An open circuit indicates a failed grill element.
  • 4. Replace grill element: Remove fixing screws inside the cavity, gently lower or pull out the element, and fit a genuine Zanussi grill element. Reconnect wires firmly.
  • 5. Check control board output: If the element tests OK, check that the PCB sends power to the grill when commanded (live testing should only be done by a qualified person). If no output, replace the main control board.

Warning: Grill elements run very hot; ensure all heat shields and insulation are refitted correctly after repair.
