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.
