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.
