I have a Kitchen Aid gas cook top with an electric grill in the center. I decided to use it tonight to try and grill some chicken. I put in on high and they thing does not get very hot. The chicken did not even sizzle. I just put a pot of cold water on it to see if it will get it to boil.

Do heating elements go bad over time? Any ideas of that to check? Is there a way to test the thermostat? I have a home warranty but it has a $60 deductible. If it's a cheap fix then I'll go for it if not I guess they can earn their keep.

I just tried to boil a pot of water on it and was unsuccessful. The water got up to a bit over 200. There were bubbles on the pot surface but it would not boil. I would think that a grill should get hot enough to boil water right?
