How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing control panel.

  • Verify element type: Ensure replacement elements (if any) match Avanti specifications for wattage and type.
  • Test infinite switch: If one element behaves erratically, replace its infinite switch. If multiple elements share a control board, the board may be faulty.
  • Check wiring: Inspect for loose or overheated connections at the switch and element.
