Possible Causes

Open broil heating element, Loose or burnt broil wiring, Failed broil relay on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power at the breaker.

  • Inspect broil element: Check the upper element for visible breaks or burn spots. Replace if damaged.
  • Test continuity: Access the element terminals from the rear, disconnect wires, and measure resistance. An open reading means the element is bad.
  • Check connections: Tighten or replace any loose or burnt terminals.
  • Control board: If the element and wiring are intact, the broil relay on the control board may be defective and require board replacement.
