Possible Causes

Failed lower bake element, Failed upper grill element, Burnt wiring to element, Overheated selector switch contacts

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect mains power before accessing elements.

Steps:

  • 1. Test different functions: Try bake, grill, and fan-assisted modes. If only one function fails, that specific element is suspect.
  • 2. Visual check: Inspect visible elements for cracks or burn marks.
  • 3. Access terminals: Remove rear panel to access element terminals. Disconnect wires and test continuity with a multimeter. Replace any element that reads open circuit.
  • 4. Inspect selector switch: If multiple elements fail in certain positions, the function selector switch may have burnt contacts. Check for heat damage and replace if necessary.
