Possible Causes

Open broil heating element, Faulty broil relay on control board, Loose broil element wiring, Selector switch fault (mechanical models)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the broil element or control components.

  • 1. Inspect broil element: Open the oven door and visually inspect the upper broil element for breaks, blisters, or burn marks.
  • 2. Test continuity: Remove the rear panel to access the broil element terminals. Disconnect the wires and measure resistance across the element. An open reading indicates a failed element that must be replaced.
  • 3. Check wiring: Ensure the broil element connectors are tight and not heat-damaged. Repair or replace any burnt wiring.
  • 4. Control output: If the element is good, test for voltage at the element terminals when broil is selected (use extreme caution or have a professional perform this). If no voltage is present, the broil relay or selector switch may be defective and require replacement.
