Possible Causes
Failed grill element, Faulty grill selector switch position, Burnt wiring to grill, Faulty grill relay on PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the mains before accessing the grill element or control panel.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Inspect grill element: Look for visible damage or sagging. Replace if physically damaged.
- 2. Test element: Disconnect and measure resistance. An open circuit means the element is faulty.
- 3. Check selector switch: On models with a mechanical selector, test continuity in grill position. Replace the switch if the grill contact is open.
- 4. Inspect wiring: Repair any burnt or loose wires to the grill element.
- 5. Check PCB relay (electronic models): If the element and wiring are good, the grill relay on the PCB may have failed; replace the control board.
Warning: Grill circuits draw high current; ensure all connections are tight and correctly rated.
