Oven Broiler Not Working?

Troubleshooting and Solutions

If your oven broiler is not working, it can limit your cooking options. Here are some common reasons for this issue and steps to troubleshoot and fix it:

Common Causes:

  1. Faulty Broil Element:

    • The broil element might be burned out or damaged.
  2. Defective Temperature Control Thermostat:

    • The thermostat that controls the broiler temperature might be malfunctioning.
  3. Faulty Oven Control Board:

  4. Issues with Wiring or Connections:

    • There might be a loose or damaged wire or connection within the oven.

Troubleshooting Steps:

  1. Check the Broil Element:

    • Turn off the oven and unplug it from the electrical outlet or turn off the circuit breaker.
    • Inspect the broil element for any visible signs of damage, such as burns or breaks.
    • Use a multimeter to test the broil element for continuity. If there is no continuity, the broil element is likely defective and needs replacement.

    • The thermostat controls the temperature of the broiler.
    • Turn off the power to the oven and unplug it.
    • Access the thermostat, usually located behind the control panel.

    • If the broil element and thermostat are functioning correctly, the control board might be the issue.
    • Turn off the power to the oven and unplug it.
    • Access the control board and inspect it for any signs of damage or burn marks.
    • Use a multimeter to test the control board for continuity. If it is faulty, consider having it repaired or replaced.
