Possible Causes

Open radiant or coil element, Faulty infinite switch or control for that element, Loose wiring at element terminals

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before removing cooktop or control panel.

  • Inspect element: On coil elements, swap the non-working element with a working one. If the problem follows the element, replace the surface element. On radiant elements, lift the glass top and visually inspect for breaks or burn marks.
  • Check wiring: Ensure wires are firmly attached to the element terminals and not burnt.
  • Test switch: If the element is good, test the infinite switch or electronic control output for that zone. Replace the infinite switch or zone control board if it does not send power.
