Possible Causes

Open‑circuit grill element (inner or outer), Faulty grill selector switch, Loose spade connectors on grill terminals, Overheated wiring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and allow the grill area to cool completely.

  • Check settings: Ensure you have selected full grill vs. half grill as appropriate.
  • Visual inspection: Look at the grill element when briefly powered (through the door glass). If only part glows red, that section may be failed.
  • Continuity test (technician): Remove the top panel and test each section of the grill element for continuity.
  • Replace element or switch: Fit a new grill element if open‑circuit. If the element is good but not powered in certain settings, replace the grill selector switch.
