Electric surface element does not heat at all.

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing elements or panels.

Steps to check:

• Swap test (coil elements): If your Stoves range uses plug-in coil elements, swap the non-heating element with a working one. If the problem follows the element, replace it. If it stays at the same location, suspect the receptacle or switch.
• Inspect receptacle: Look for burnt or loose contacts in the element receptacle; replace if damaged.
• Test element (radiant under glass): Lift the glass top, disconnect the element, and measure resistance. An open reading indicates a bad element.
• Check infinite switch: If the element is good, the infinite switch may be faulty. A technician can test for proper output voltage from the switch when turned on and replace it if needed.
