How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker.
- Inspect broil element: Look for visible breaks or burn spots. If damaged, replace the broil element.
- Test resistance: Disconnect one wire and measure the broil element's resistance (typically 10–30 Ω). Replace if open.
- Check wiring: Inspect wires and terminals for heat damage. Repair or replace any burned connectors.
- Control check: If the element and wiring are good, the broil relay on the EOC may have failed, requiring EOC replacement.
Tip: Always match the replacement element to the exact GE Profile model.
