The electric grill does not turn on anymore, what to do?

A beautiful summer evening brings the prospect of a barbecued meal! But your cooking appliance has decided to fail you: the grill refuses to turn on ... To fix it yourself, check out this fault diagnosis tool!

THE POTENTIAL CAUSES FOR THIS FAULT:

• Power supply is failing

• The grill switch no longer works

• The thermostat block is poorly positioned

• The thermostat malfunctions

WARNING
Before you do anything to your appliance, make sure you disconnect it from the power supply.
There is a risk of electric shock.
Wear suitable protective gloves if you need to dismantle anything.
There is a risk of getting cut or injured.

Failing power supply

The first thing to check if your grill no longer turns on is its power supply. Plug the cooking appliance into another outlet to dismiss the wall installation. Check that the power cable is not cut or melted. Also visually check the power plug which must not show traces of burning. In the event of an anomaly, the power cord of the barbecue will need to be replaced.

The grill switch no longer works

Some electric grills have a power switch. Sometimes it no longer works properly. To test it, first unplug your device and then set a multimeter to the Ohmmeter position. Perform a continuity test to see if the switch is electrically powered.

The thermostat block is poorly positioned

Most electric barbecues are equipped with a thermostat block. This one rests on safety pins. When the thermostat block is put on them incorrectly, the safety remains engaged and the cooking appliance cannot start.

The thermostat malfunctions

The thermostat of your grill or electric barbecue is used to control the heating power of the device. To determine if the part is functional, perform a continuity test using your multimeter. Set your tester to the continuity position. Go to the thermostat and remove the lug nuts. Then, place the tips on each terminal of this component. The thermostat is functional if the multimeter displays 0 or beeps. Otherwise, it will have to be replaced.
