What FEEB-0 means on a Jenn-Air oven
The FEEB-0 error code on a Jenn-Air oven indicates an open circuit condition in the secondary cavity broil element. An open circuit means the electrical path through the broil element has been interrupted, preventing current from flowing and making the element non-functional. This code is specific to the secondary oven cavity, which in dual-oven configurations is typically the lower or smaller compartment. The appliance control unit (ACU) monitors the broil element circuit and triggers this fault when it detects no continuity where current should be present.
The most common physical cause of this fault is element "unzipping," which is the industry term for a broil element that has visibly burned through, cracked, or separated along its coiled length. This breakage in the heating coil creates the open circuit the ACU detects. Unzipping often appears as a visible split, blister, or burn hole in the element, sometimes accompanied by scorching on the oven cavity ceiling near the break point. Connection failures at either the element terminals or the ACU wiring harness can also produce an identical open circuit reading without any visible element damage.
Diagnosis should begin with a thorough visual inspection of the secondary cavity broil element for any signs of physical damage. Following the visual check, technicians should verify that all wiring connectors are fully seated at both the element terminals and the ACU. If connections are secure and no visible damage is present, resistance testing of the element with a multimeter will confirm whether the element itself has failed internally or whether the fault lies elsewhere in the circuit.

Common causes of FEEB-0
- 01
Broil element unzipping or burnout
Part replacementThe broil element coil has physically split, cracked, or burned through, breaking the electrical circuit. Look for visible blistering, holes, or separation along the element surface inside the secondary cavity.
- 02
Loose or disconnected wiring at the element terminals
Wiring / connectionThe wire connectors at the broil element terminals may have worked loose or corroded, interrupting the circuit without any damage to the element itself. Inspect the terminal connections and reseat any that are not fully engaged.
- 03
Loose or disconnected wiring at the ACU
Wiring / connectionThe wiring harness connection at the appliance control unit may be partially unseated, causing the ACU to read an open circuit. Check the relevant harness connector at the ACU and ensure it is fully clicked into place.
- 04
Internally failed broil element with no visible damage
Part replacementBroil elements can fail internally with no obvious visual signs of unzipping. If connections are secure and no physical damage is visible, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. A reading of no continuity confirms the element has failed.
- 05
Damaged or corroded wiring in the element circuit
Part replacementHeat exposure over time can degrade the insulation or corrode the wiring between the element and the ACU, creating an open circuit condition. Inspect the full length of the circuit wiring for any signs of damage, melting, or corrosion.
