Check Before Replacing
- Confirm the issue follows the 6-inch element’s control switch rather than another burner control.
- With the range disconnected from power, inspect the switch terminals and connected wiring for loose connections, discoloration, melting, or heat damage.
- Check the surface element and wiring for continuity or damage only according to the appliance’s model-specific service documentation; do not perform live-voltage testing unless qualified to work on range circuits.
