Possible Causes
Open-circuit grill element, Burnt grill element terminals, Loose wiring to grill element, Faulty grill relay on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power at the isolator and breaker. The grill area can remain very hot; wait until fully cooled.
- Visual inspection: Look at the grill element in the top cavity. Check for visible breaks, bulges, or burn marks on the element.
- Check terminals: Remove the top or rear panel to access the grill element terminals. Ensure the spade connectors are tight and not burnt. Replace any overheated connectors with high-temperature types.
- Test element: Disconnect at least one terminal and measure resistance across the element. A typical grill element will show a finite resistance (often 15–40 Ω). If it reads open (OL), the element is faulty and must be replaced.
- Inspect wiring: Trace the wires from the element to the control board or selector switch. Repair any damaged insulation or broken conductors.
- Control board/selector: If the element and wiring are good, the grill relay or selector switch contacts may be defective. Replacement of the PCB or switch is required.
