Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before servicing.

Steps:

  • Continuity test: Remove mounting screws, pull the element forward, disconnect wires, and test for continuity. Replace if open.
  • Wiring check: Inspect wiring from the broil element to the control board for burns or loose connections. Repair as needed.
  • Control board: If the element and wiring are good, replace the EOC.
