How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker and verify the cooktop is cool before lifting the glass.
- Access element: Remove mounting screws and carefully lift the glass top to expose the radiant elements.
- Inspect element: Look for visible breaks or burn spots in the element coil. A broken element must be replaced.
- Check connections: Ensure all wires to the element and limiter are secure and not burned.
- Control check: If the element and wiring appear intact, the infinite switch (on knob-controlled models) or the electronic control relay (on touch models) may be faulty and require replacement.
Support the glass top while working to avoid stress and cracking.
