Inglis Oven broiler not working properly

If your Inglis oven broiler is not working, start with the broil element, the most likely cause on an electric range. A damaged element may show holes or blisters, or it may fail a continuity test with a multimeter. If you have a gas Inglis range and the oven broiler is not working, watch the igniter during preheating. An igniter that glows for more than 90 seconds without lighting the gas is usually too weak and should be replaced. If the element or igniter tests good, the oven control board may not be sending voltage to the broil circuit. Gas models can also have a faulty ignition module or a worn broil spark electrode. Check for a missing spark, cracked porcelain, or a damaged electrode tip, and verify proper outlet grounding and polarity. A defective temperature control thermostat is less common but can prevent the broiler from heating. Disconnect power before testing or replacing parts, and review the wiring diagram before checking voltage. Enter your Inglis range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact broil element, igniter, control board, or other replacement part for your appliance.

01 - Inglis Range/Stove/Oven Broil Element

The broiler element may have burned out. When the broil element is heating properly, it glows red hot. If the element does not glow red, this indicates that the element is not heating. Often, if the element has burned out, it will be visibly damaged. Inspect the broil element for holes or blisters. To determine if the broil element has burned out, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the broil element does not have continuity, replace it.

02 - Inglis Range/Stove/Oven Igniter

The igniter glows to ignite the gas in the burner assembly. To determine if the igniter is defective, observe the igniter as the oven is heating. If the igniter glows for more than 90 seconds without igniting the gas flame, this indicates that the igniter is too weak to ignite the gas. If the igniter is weak, replace it.
Highly Likely

03 - Inglis Range/Stove/Oven Control Board

An oven's control board will often be used to send voltage to the broil element or the igniter. If the control board is defective, the voltage may not be sent to the component and the oven broiler will not work. You can inspect the board for signs of damage or a shorted component. You can also use a multimeter to test for voltage reaching the broil element or igniter after reviewing the appliance's wiring diagram.
Highly Likely

04 - Inglis Range/Stove/Oven Ignition Module

For gas ovens using a spark igniter, a faulty ignition module could be responsible for the oven only heating intermittently, resulting in an inaccurate oven temperature. If you do not consistently see a spark near the bake or broiler burner tube when the oven is turned on, use a multimeter to determine if voltage is reaching the ignition module. If power is present, the ignition module is likely defective and will need to be replaced.
Common

05 - Inglis Range/Stove/Oven Bake or Broil Spark Electrode

For broil burner ignition an oven broiler burner spark electrode is used to ignite the gas. The electrode is a device that sits right next to the broil burner. It functions like a spark plug. As power is applied to it a spark jumps from the spark electrode tip to the to the electrode shield, igniting the gas. If the electrode is broken or worn out the spark may not occur. Visually inspect the electrode assembly for cracks in the porcelain housing or damage to the electrode tip itself. Be aware that a proper ground and the correct polarity of the incoming voltage to the range is necessary for the electrode control to sense... the presence of a flame once the burner is ignited. If the burner goes off after ignition check for proper ground and the correct polarity at the wall outlet.
Common

06 - Inglis Range/Stove/Oven Temperature Control Thermostat

The temperature control thermostat regulates the broiler temperature. If the thermostat is defective, it may fail to heat the broiler element. The oven thermostat is not repairable—if the thermostat is defective, you must replace it.
