Possible Causes
Open surface element, Failed infinite switch or burner control, Loose wiring at element, Failed relay on electronic cooktop control
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before accessing the cooktop.
- Swap pans and test: Confirm the issue is not with cookware (for radiant or induction models).
- Check indicator: If the hot surface light never comes on for that burner, suspect the element or switch.
- Access element: Lift the glass top (radiant) or remove the top panel (coil) to access the element and wiring.
- Test continuity: Disconnect the element and test with a meter. Replace the JennAir-compatible element if open.
- Check switch/control: If the element is good, test the infinite switch or electronic burner control for output. Replace the faulty control component.
