How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the control panel.
- Compare behavior: Verify that other elements respond normally to their controls. If only one element is affected, suspect its switch.
- Access switch: Remove the back panel behind the control knobs on your Summit range. Locate the infinite switch for the affected burner.
- Inspect wiring: Confirm wires are connected to the correct terminals per the wiring diagram. Look for burned or loose connectors.
- Replace switch: If wiring is correct and the symptom persists, replace the infinite heat control switch for that burner.
