A dead broiler with a working bake function isolates the problem to the top of the oven.
Inspect the Broil Element (Electric)
The top element can fail independently of the bake element.
Fix: Look for breaks or blistering and replace if damaged.
Check the Broil Igniter (Gas)
Gas broilers have their own igniter that can weaken with age.
Fix: A glow-without-light igniter needs replacing.
Confirm the Mode Selection
Some ranges require the door at a specific position or a separate broil setting.
Fix: Check the manual for the correct broil setup before assuming a fault.
