Hey everyone I am in desperate need of some incite. My Broiler is not functioning at all on my range. No fault codes appear. I bought a new broiler element and that has not fixed the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! The model is RF263LXTT1

cheers

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for Whirlpool RF263LXTT1 30" ELECTRIC FREESTANDING SELF CLEAN RANGE | AppliancePartsPros.com

The thermal fuse (Item 17 in Section 1) may have blown. It kills power to the broil element.

Un[plug the unit and one wire from the fuse and check it with a meter. Should be 0 ohms.

Yes could be a bad connection/burned wire or a blown control board.

If the wiring to the broil element checks out OK then I would replace the control board.

Do what you feel comfortable with.

Personally I would just get the board but you have to go with your gut.

If you order the board from AppliancePartsPros you can return it if it does not fix the problem. See their return policy.
