Possible Causes

Open circuit in one half of dual grill element, loose connection on one side of element, selector switch not energising both circuits

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate power and allow the grill to cool completely.

Steps:

  • Visually inspect the grill element while briefly powered (by a competent person) to confirm which section is not heating.
  • Turn off power and access the element terminals from the top or rear panel.
  • Check for loose or burnt connectors on the non-heating side; repair as needed.
  • Test each half of the element for continuity. Replace the dual grill element if one side is open circuit.
  • If the element is good, test the grill selector switch to ensure it supplies power to both circuits in the full-grill position.
