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.
