Possible Causes
Burnt-out grill element, Loose or burnt terminals, Faulty grill selector switch, Defective thermostat contact for grill circuit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow the grill area to cool before inspection.
- Visual inspection: Look at the grill element for breaks, sagging, or burn marks.
- Test other functions: If the main oven heats but the grill does not, the issue is likely isolated to the grill circuit.
- Access terminals (technician): Remove the top or rear panel to reach the grill element connections. Check for heat damage and tightness.
- Replace grill element: Fit a new Montpellier grill element if open-circuit or visibly damaged.
