Possible Causes
Failed broil igniter, defective gas valve for broil circuit, wiring issue to broil burner, control board output failure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off gas and power before servicing. Avoid working near open flames.
- Check broil operation: Start a broil cycle and observe. If the broil igniter does not glow at all, suspect the igniter or control output.
- Test igniter continuity: With power OFF, disconnect the broil igniter and measure resistance. An open reading indicates a failed igniter.
- Inspect wiring: Check the harness from the control board to the broil igniter and gas valve for damage.
- Replace igniter: Replace the broil igniter if open or cracked.
- Further diagnosis: If the igniter is good but not receiving power, the electronic control board or gas valve may be defective and should be tested by a technician.
