    I think mechanical failure is different than an electrical failure. Plastic and metal breaking is harder to fix than the electrical for a grill, which shouldn’t be much more than a power cord, a resistor dial, a switch, and a heating element.

      You are right, of course. Also repetitive thermal expansion comes into play here. We can compare it with repairing a broken heating element or other single part, instead of replacing it. My patience to properly glue it was also part of failure, hehe.
