Common Symptoms
- 6-inch burner remains cold or heats only partially.
- Burner heats unevenly or intermittently.
- Burner may stop heating after an electrical fault or visible element damage.
- A radiant burner may normally glow red and cycle on and off during operation; cycling alone is not evidence of failure.
Check Before Replacing
- Confirm the range has power by checking the dedicated circuit breaker or fuse; electric ranges require full supply voltage for proper burner operation.
- With the burner set to HIGH, observe whether the radiant zone glows across its intended heating area; compare with another burner if needed.
- Use a flat-bottomed pan that matches the burner size; an unsuitable or warped pan can cause premature temperature-limiter cycling and poor heating.
- After switching off power at the breaker and unplugging the range where accessible, visually inspect the element and terminals for cracks, burn marks, loose connections, or other damage.
- If the element remains cold, have a qualified technician test the disconnected element for continuity and verify the control switch and wiring before replacing parts.
Pro Tip
Radiant elements normally cycle between glowing red and dark during operation. On HIGH, cycling is expected; judge performance by whether the zone heats the pan evenly rather than whether it stays visibly red continuously.
