How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not continue using the grill until the fault is resolved.
- Visual inspection: Check the grill element for visible cracks or burn marks.
- Insulation test: With power off, disconnect the grill element and test resistance between each terminal and earth. Low resistance indicates leakage; replace the element.
- Drying: If the oven was recently steam-cleaned, allow it to dry for 24–48 hours and retest. If tripping persists, replace the grill element.
- Check wiring: Inspect grill wiring for contact with metal parts and repair as needed.
