Is this a new range? I'd call for service to get it fixed instead of trying it yourself. You don't want to void the warranty.

Seems someone had a similar problem and it was a loose connection of a wire. Call service

unfortunately, the warranty is expired! and yeah, i think i'll call a rep or techincian.

is it worth it though, if the cost is very high? in otherwords, if the broiler isn't really all that great, i'd rather just save my money, ya know. but if the broiler really is as excellent as the burners, and can turn out an evenly and perfectly cooked steak or salmon, then yeah, i'll spend the money to fix it.

thanks

If I had 22k BTU burners and a cast iron pan to play with, I doubt my steaks would ever see a broiler!

That said, I wouldn't want to be without a broiler. I don't use it so much to actually cook a meal, but I use it a ton to "finish" a dish such as a casserole, gratin, etc. Obviously you don't though, as you haven't found the need to do that in over a year.

Your choice. Personally I'd hate to have a $$$ range that doesn't work right. In my reading about BS over the years I've seen a recurring theme: Few repair services seem to want to work on them, so Prizer is helpful in sending out parts and walking you through fixing it yourself. In the end that saves you a buck and gives you a sense of accomplishment. ;) Go for it!

I can't speak to the Bluestar broiler but I have a DCS gas range and the broiler is fantastic - I often do filet mignon under the broiler and get incredible compliments from my guests. I would think that the Bluestar broiler would be comparable.

YES it is worth it, and YES you can make restaurant quality killer steaks with it.
The broiler was as much a reason I bought mine as the burners were.
Don't even think about not fixing it. You don't know what you have been missing.

Yeah, the bluestar broiler is supposed to be awesome: ceramic infra red gives it massive sear power.

It's part of the reason I'm having a hard time deciding whether to have a grill or griddle on the top of a 48 inch: if I have this monster broiler plus a grill on the screen porch, I'm not sure a third grill on the stovetop would see much use...
