Description

This broil element restores the oven's upper heating function so the broiler can produce proper surface browning and high-heat cooking. Replace a damaged or non-heating element to recover consistent broil performance. What it does:

• Provides the high-temperature heat for broiling and top-surface browning.
• Replaces a failed or visibly damaged upper/broil heating element.
• Common symptoms: oven won't broil, food won't brown on top, or the element doesn't glow.
• Visible breaks, blisters, or no heat when broil is selected indicate replacement.

What's included: One broil element. Install notes:

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting.
• Allow the oven to cool completely; wear gloves to protect hands.
• Handle the element and terminals carefully; avoid bending or nicking the heating tube.
• Secure mounting screws and electrical connectors; restore power and test broil function.

This part fixes the following symptoms

• Little to no heat when broiling
