If you have replaced the grill element and it still doesn't work, there are a few other things you can check.
First, make sure that the grill is actually turned on and that the grill control knob is set to the correct temperature.
Next, check the grill's thermostat, which is typically located near the grill element. Use a multimeter to check the continuity of the thermostat, as a faulty thermostat can prevent the grill from heating up.
If the thermostat is functioning properly, you may need to check the grill's selector switch, which determines whether the grill or oven is used. A faulty switch can prevent the grill from working.
Finally, if none of these solutions work, there may be a wiring issue within the grill or in the main control board of the cooker. In this case, it may be best to seek the assistance of a professional technician to diagnose and repair the issue.
Hi ,this is quite normal to see the grill element going on an off, in your oven as this is thermostatically controlled to ensure an even grill temperature for your food, once the grill area has reached the set temperature you selected, the element will switch off for a set period. until the air temperature goes below the setting. then switches back on again for a set time. it is easier to notice this action when the grill is on a low setting compared to a hot setting on hot settings you may see the element switching on and off more rapidly or staying on longer, than on low settings.
the switching on and off does not effect the average temperature in the oven so your food is still being grilled by residual heat from the grill element when is has switched to off for a while.
This system is used as it is easier to control and more effective to build the ovens to switch on and off rather than controlling the power level to the element. this activity does not mean your oven is defective or that any parts need replacing.
if you feel that your food is not being cooked efficiently then I would consider a specialist check the oven or give it an overhaul or service if needed.
Can this grill be also used on propane? If so you might be running it too hot on natural gas, check to see if the control knobs have two different set of markings.
If the temp control works for all other settings, it is working for hot air grilling as it using the same stat....when hot air grilling function is used the grill comes on and when it reaches temp the element switches off and the fan switches on. Once this has happened the element and fan will alternate during the cooking period. The fan and element DO NOT operate at the same time.
i believe after buying this oven that the left knob at turning clockwise position 1 is defrost which works by just blowing room temp air around, position 2 is oven on, position 3 is conventional grill must be used with door open and position 4 is fan grill can be used with door closed ,and the knob on the left is for setting oven temp and and turn fully round when using the grill to heat the grill
First things first. The oven element is totally separate to the grill element. The clock has to have a time set for either the top or bottom oven to work, whereas the grill will work without the clock being set.
The control knob for the top oven is the ONLY control that will turn the top oven lights on, the grill does not turn the lights on. ( If you want to watch your toast, you have to turn the top oven switch on to the first setting as well as operating the grill control).
To prevent the grill being operated with the door shut, there is a micro-switch on the door hinge that allows the grill to operate ONLY when the door is down. The grill control also does not illuminate unless the door is down. There are two options on the grill control - right or left. One way is the inner element only and the other is both inner and outer ones.
So if you have done all that and it still doesn't work, then the micro-switch could be faulty.
Best of luck

Yes you can. The digital control goes in place of the old controller and it is a un plug and replug in the ends. Make sure you keep track of what color plug in what color. Some have a purple dot to purple wire, orange dot to orange wire etc., but I don't know for sure on the older grills. Just write it down and be safe. FIRST make sure you unplug the grill before you start and DO NOT plug in till you have the new controller in place. It will short out when you touch the side if it is not unplugged.
