How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before inspecting the broil element.
- Visual inspection: Look at the broil element for blisters, breaks, or burn marks.
- Continuity test: Disconnect the broil element leads and test for continuity with a multimeter. Replace if open.
- Check connections: Ensure the element terminals are tight and not corroded.
