Possible Causes

Failed radiant heating element, Faulty infinite switch or burner control, Loose wiring at element terminals, Burned connector

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker and verify the cooktop is cool before disassembly.

  • Check other burners: If only one burner fails, the element or its control is likely faulty. If all fail, suspect supply or main control.
  • Access element: Remove the cooktop glass according to the service instructions to access the radiant elements.
  • Inspect wiring: Look for burnt or loose connectors at the affected element.
  • Test element: Disconnect the element and measure resistance across its terminals. An open reading indicates a failed element.
  • Replace parts: Replace the defective radiant surface element. If the element tests good, test and replace the infinite switch / burner control for that zone.

Ensure all insulation and supports are correctly reinstalled before replacing the glass top.
