Common Symptoms
- Surface element will not heat
- Surface element will not start
- Surface element remains at high heat
- Surface element temperature is erratic
Check Before Replacing
- If the element remains at high heat despite a lower setting, the switch controlling that element may be defective.
- If the element does not heat, verify that the issue follows the switch rather than the element or another electrical component; the switch should not be repaired internally.
- Compare the replacement shaft shape with the original before installation; this kit uses a D-shaped shaft.
Pro Tip
Photograph or label the wire connections before transferring them, and use the supplied instructions when replacing an earlier switch version.
