Electric cooktop element on a Danby range does not heat, while others work normally.

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before removing elements or panels.

• Swap elements (coil type): On plug-in coil elements, swap the non-heating element with a known good one. If the problem follows the element, replace the element. If it stays at the same location, suspect the receptacle or switch.
• Inspect receptacle: Look for discoloration or melting at the element receptacle. Replace if damaged.
• Test element continuity: For radiant elements under glass, disconnect the element and measure resistance. An open circuit indicates a failed element.
• Check control switch: If the element is good, test the infinite switch or electronic control output for that zone and replace if not supplying power.
