This Part Fixes These Problems

No Broil Heat

Oven runs but the broil element produces no heat and shows no red glow — the most common failure mode caused by a burned-out internal coil.

Uneven Broiling

Food browns only on one side or not at all during broil mode, indicating a partially failed element or internal hotspot damage.

Self-Clean Cycle Fails

Self-cleaning function will not initiate or complete because it relies on the broil element to reach the required high temperature.

Visible Element Damage

Physical breaks, blisters, or burn-through spots are visible on the element coil, causing intermittent or total loss of broil function.

💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Broil Element the Cause?

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Oven runs but produces no heat on the broil or self-clean setting

⚠️ Food browns unevenly or not at all during broiling

⚠️ Element shows no visible red glow when the broil mode is active

⚠️ Visible burn marks, blistering, or breaks on the element coil

To confirm: set the oven to Broil and watch through the oven window — the element should glow bright red within 60 seconds. No glow = failed element. Also test continuity with a multimeter; a reading of OL (open circuit) confirms the element needs replacement.

📦 What's in the Box

✅ 1× Broil Element WB44X173 (3,400W / 250V, screw-on terminals, approx. 12" W × 16" L)
