When an Ariston oven grill stops heating

The upper element does two jobs. On grill settings it glows red to brown and crisp food from above, and on conventional bake it shares the work with the lower element to heat the cavity evenly. Elements usually fail by burning through, which leaves an open circuit and no heat at all from the top of the oven. Common signs are a grill that stays dark, food that cooks underneath but stays pale on top, a visible split or blister along the element, or a safety switch that trips when the grill is selected.

Changing the top element

Turn the oven off at the isolating switch or switchboard and let it cool fully. Most top elements are reached from inside the cavity once the roof panel is lowered, or from the back with the oven pulled out. Photograph the terminals before unplugging anything, and keep the wires clear of hot surfaces when refitting. Hard-wired ovens should be disconnected and reconnected by a licensed electrician.
