LG Studio Broil Heating Element Circuit Failure

Oven broil function does not work; top element never glows red, but bake may still work.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Open broil element, burned wire at broil terminal, failed broil relay on main PCB, loose connector at broil element

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker.

Inspect broil element: Look at the upper element for visible breaks or burn marks.
Test continuity: Access the rear of the oven, disconnect the broil element leads, and measure resistance. Replace if open.
Check wiring: Inspect wires and connectors to the broil element for heat damage or looseness.
If element and wiring are intact: The broil relay on the main PCB may be defective; replace the main PCB.

Note: Some models use hidden elements; access from the rear is required for testing.
