Common Symptoms

  • Surface element will not turn on or heat.
  • Element heats only at high or does not regulate normally.
  • Element may remain energized after being switched off, indicating a potentially unsafe control condition.

Check Before Replacing

  • With appliance power disconnected, visually inspect the switch terminals and wiring for loose, burned, or damaged connections.
  • Confirm that the symptom follows the affected control switch and is not limited to the surface element or its receptacle.
  • A qualified technician may check switch continuity using the appliance wiring diagram and the correct terminal designations; do not perform live-voltage testing unless properly trained.

Pro Tip

Before condemning the switch, compare the affected burner with another control and inspect the element, receptacle, and wiring because those components can produce similar heating symptoms.
