Replace a bad socket or burner.
If one of your electric burners
isn’t heating, it could be a bad burner, a bad connection in the burner
socket or a faulty switch. To see if the problem is the burner, exchange
the burner with one that you know works. If that burner won’t heat, the
problem is either the burner socket or the infinite switch. (The burner
prongs plug into the burner socket.) Connections in the burner socket
can burn out and fail to provide power. If the prongs look burned,
inspect the socket. If the socket looks charred or burned, replace it.
Replace Switch in your stove or range
The knob you turn to control the burner temperature slides over the
shaft of the infinite switch. If the switch burns out, your burner won't
get power. Test the infinite switch if you know the burner and burner
socket are good but the burner still won't heat. We removed the back
panel to access the infinite switch. Your range may be different. With
the range unplugged, test the switch with a multimeter set . If the
meter reading remains the same, the infinite switch is bad and should be
replaced
