Possible Causes

Burnt out radiant element, Faulty infinite switch or control, Loose wiring at terminal block, Failed relay on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect the range from mains before removing any panels or accessing elements.

  • Test other zones: Confirm that other elements work to rule out a supply issue.
  • Access element: For glass‑ceramic tops, remove the cooktop surface to access the radiant element. For solid plates, access from below.
  • Check continuity: Use a multimeter to test the suspect element for continuity. An open circuit indicates a failed element.
  • Inspect wiring: Check for burnt or loose wires at the element terminals and control switch.
  • Replace faulty part: Replace the radiant element or infinite switch/control as indicated by testing.
