Possible Causes

Burnt radiant heating element, Failed infinite switch or power regulator, Loose wiring at terminal block or element

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect the range from mains before removing top panels. Elements operate at high voltage.

  • Test other zones: Confirm that other zones heat normally to rule out a global power issue.
  • Access element: Remove the glass-ceramic top according to the service instructions. Inspect the affected element for visible breaks or burn marks.
  • Check wiring: Verify that all spade connectors to the element and control are tight and not burnt.
  • Measure element resistance: Use a multimeter to check continuity. Replace the radiant element if open circuit.
  • Control check: If the element is good, the infinite switch or electronic power regulator for that zone may be faulty and should be replaced.
