How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and gas before servicing. Gas work should be done carefully to avoid leaks.
- Visual check: Start a broil cycle and observe whether the broil igniter glows. If not, suspect the igniter or wiring.
- Test igniter continuity: With power off, remove the broil igniter and measure resistance. Replace if open or cracked.
- Inspect wiring: Check the harness from the igniter to the control/valve for burns or loose connections.
- Gas valve test: If the igniter glows strongly but no flame appears, the broil gas valve may be faulty. This should be tested and replaced by a qualified technician.
