<\/picture><\/a><\/p>\nIf the ohms of resistance reading is between 0 and 120, then the continuity is ok. This means that the burner is not the problem, and something else may be an issue. If the meter doesn’t move, there is no continuity, and you will need to replace the burner. Assuming that the burner is the problem, let’s look at how to fix it.<\/p>\n
Replacing a Faulty Glass Top Burner<\/h2>\n With the burner removed, you will need to find out what the model and serial numbers are to replace the part. You should be able to find the part online or at a local hardware store. Once you locate the numbers on the defective part, again, take a photo of the numbers to show to the store clerk or look up the correct part online.<\/p>\n
Step 1:<\/h3>\n Once you have your new part in hand, you can begin replacing the part. Again, make sure that your stove is unplugged and lift the stovetop head and prop it up. If you need to remove the part again, go ahead and do so now. Remember to take a photo of the wire configuration so that you can put the new part back the way it’s supposed to be.<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/h3>\n Start by removing the wires that connect to the element and the limiter. You can use your needle nose pliers to remove the wires. If you happen to notice corrosion on the terminal wires, then it may be a good idea to get replacements for these, too. Otherwise, proceed with replacing the radiant element.<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/h3>\n There will likely be a mounting bracket that holds all the burners in place. To remove the burner, you will have to remove the screw that’s mounting the heating element in place. It may be a good idea to remove both screws to remove the entire mounting element. However, if you can handle removing one screw and fixing the faulty burner, you can do that, too.<\/p>\n
*Step 4:<\/h3>\n Depending on your model, there may be additional mounting springs on the old element itself. Again, this could be an excellent opportunity to pull out your camera phone and take a photo just in case your memory isn’t that good. Unscrew them and put them into your new radiant element.<\/p>\n
Step 5:<\/h3>\n Fit the element back into place, making sure the retaining screw secures them.<\/p>\n
Step 6:<\/h3>\n Then finally, reconnect the wires the way that they are supposed to be. Now is an excellent time to look at your photo to make sure that you are putting the wires back accordingly.<\/p>\n
Step 7:<\/h3>\n Continue by fastening the mounting bracket and then close the top of your stove, making sure it snaps back into place.<\/p>\n
Step 8:<\/h3>\n Finish by replacing the two screws you removed at the beginning.<\/p>\n
*Step 9:<\/h3>\n If you have an island cooktop, use some silicone caulk to glue it back into place before replacing the screws.<\/p>\n
Step 10:<\/h3>\n After completing these tasks, make sure that you plug the stove back in and check the burner to ensure it is working correctly.<\/p>\n
*Steps dependent on model\/type of stove.<\/p>\n
