Possible Causes
Failed broil igniter, Clogged broil burner ports, Faulty gas safety valve for broil circuit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Shut off gas and power before servicing the broil assembly.
Steps to try:
- Observe broil igniter: Start a broil cycle and look for the broil igniter to glow. If it does not, test for continuity and replace if open.
- Clean broil burner: Remove the broil burner and clean the ports. Ensure no foil or liners are blocking airflow.
- Check gas valve: If the igniter glows strongly but no flame appears, the broil side of the gas safety valve may be faulty and should be tested by a professional.
