Possible Causes
Open broil heating element, Loose or burned broil wiring, Failed broil relay on control board, Faulty function selector position for broil
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power before accessing the broil element.
- Inspect broil element: Look at the top of the oven cavity for visible damage to the broil element.
- Continuity test: Access the rear of the range, disconnect broil element wires, and test for continuity. Replace if open.
- Check selector: Rotate the function knob through all positions to ensure broil engages. If the knob feels loose or skips, the selector switch may be faulty.
- Control board: If the element and wiring are good, the broil relay on the EOC may have failed and require board replacement.
