Electric surface element will not heat on a smoothtop or coil range.

Safety: Turn off power at the breaker before accessing elements or controls.

• Test other elements: If only one element fails, suspect that element or its switch. If all fail, suspect power supply or main control.
• Coil element check: For coil tops, swap the non-working element with a known-good one of the same size. If the problem follows the element, replace it. If not, replace the receptacle or switch.
• Smoothtop access: Lift or remove the glass top per GE instructions. Inspect the radiant element for breaks or burn spots.
• Switch test: Use a multimeter to test continuity through the infinite switch when turned on. Replace if open.
• Reconnect wiring: Tighten any loose spade connectors and replace burned wires.
