How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before servicing.
Steps to check:
- Inspect broil element: Look at the top element for breaks or burn marks.
- Access terminals: Remove the rear panel to inspect broil element connections for heat damage.
- Test element: Disconnect one wire and measure resistance; replace if open.
- Control test: If the element is good, a technician should verify voltage from the EOC to the broil element during broil. Lack of voltage indicates a bad EOC.
