Description

This upper broil element sits at the top of the oven cavity to provide intense radiant heat for broiling and finishing. Replacing a burned-out element can restore top-heat performance and consistent, even results.

• Provides direct, high heat from the top during Broil to sear and brown food
• Common symptoms include: no broil heat, uneven top browning, only the bake element heats, visible cracks/blisters, or tripping a breaker from a shorted element
• Works with the oven control to cycle heat and maintain broil temperature
• A failed element typically shows no continuity when tested with a multimeter

What's included: 1 upper broil element Install notes:

• Disconnect power at the circuit breaker and allow the oven to cool completely
• Remove racks; support the element, remove mounting screws, and carefully pull it forward
• Transfer wires one at a time with insulated pliers; prevent leads from slipping back into the insulation
• Avoid bending the element or over-tightening screws; ensure terminals are fully seated, restore power, and test Broil
