LG Range Not Broiling? MEE62306504 Sheath Broil Heater — Fix No-Broil Fast

When your LG electric range broils weakly, unevenly, or not at all, a failed sheath broil heater is the most common cause. In LRE and LSE series LG ranges, the broil element provides intense top heat for browning, broiling, and finishing dishes. When the heating coil burns out or the sheath cracks, the broil function stops entirely or heats only partially. ⚡ Common failure point in LG electric ranges after 5–8 years of use. Part MEE62306504 is the genuine OEM replacement — superseding MEE62306501 and MEE62306506 — and restores full broil performance in under 30 minutes.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ Range powers on and bake function works normally
• ✔ Oven reaches temperature on bake — lower element is functioning
• ✔ Power supply to the range is confirmed at 240V
• ✔ No tripped breaker or blown fuse in the panel
• ✔ ONLY problem is broil function not heating, heating weakly, or heating unevenly

🔧 Common Symptoms

• Broil element not heating at all — most common complaint
• Oven won’t broil or brown food — top of food stays pale
• Element glowing only partially or unevenly
• Visible crack, blister, or burn mark on the element sheath
• Circuit breaker trips when broil mode is activated
• Burning smell from oven during broil cycle

✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system.

✔ In most cases, replacing the broil heater restores full broil performance immediately.

⚙️ Installation

Skill Level: EASY — 20–30 minutes. Disconnect power at the circuit breaker before beginning — this is a 240V component. Remove oven racks for access, then disconnect the wire terminals from the old element (photograph routing first) and remove the two mounting screws at the back of the oven cavity. Slide the old element out through the front, position the new MEE62306504, secure the mounting screws, and reconnect the terminals. Restore power and test broil function. No special tools required.
