Troubleshooting your Universal Multiflex electric range when the broiler won't work

A broken broiler element or failed electronic oven control board could prevent the broiler from working in an electric range.

A broken oven temperature sensor probe also may prevent the broil element from heating or staying on in oven. When the oven temperature sensor probe fails, you'll likely see temperature control problems in the bake mode as well.

You can test the oven temperature sensor probe by unplugging the range and measuring sensor probe resistance using a multimeter. You should measure about 1,080 ohms of resistance through most probes at room temperature. Refer to the tech sheet for the probe's resistance specification for your range. You can likely find the tech sheet in the control console or taped to the back of the range. Replace the oven temperature sensor probe if you don't measure the correct resistance through the probe. If the probe is okay, then you may need to replace the electronic oven control board.

How to care for the glass cooktop on your Universal Multiflex electric range

• Use the recommended cookware. Use pots and pans with flat bottoms. Pots and pans made of stainless, copper and aluminum work best on most glass tops.
• Clean the cooktop after each use. Allow the cooktop to cool completely before cleaning. Use non-abrasive cleaners on the cooktop.
• Use a non-abrasive razor scraper to carefully remove burnt residue from the cooktop. Hold the scraper at a 30- to 45-degree angle when scraping off residue.
