Stove Surface Element - Testing and Replacement | Repair & Replace

Faulty surface element? In this episode of Repair & Replace, Vance shows how to test and replace a radiant heating element in a ceramic stove. If the heating element is faulty then it will prevent the burner from heating. This video will show you how to test the element with a multimeter and how to install a new element. We'll cover single coil, dual coil and triple coil heating elements. This applies to glass top or ceramic stoves.

This applies to Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Kenmore, Maytag, General Electric, and Samsung ranges.

I Just finished changing the smaller element on my kenmore stovetop. Thanks a lot! Your video just saved me $800 for a new range stove. The element was just $60. Quite a difference. Thanks again!

Your note about the limiters orientation, made my day today. Thank you :)

Great job. I have the same issue and going to fix it 🙏

I have a Jenn Air range. It’s dual burner element stopped working. The burner coils tested good and the limiter also tested good per this video. However, my element has a second probe that is not shown in this video and it is straight across from the shown limit probe. That probe did not have continuity and required the element to be replaced.

[sinanayenigul]

do we strictly need to disconnect and isolate the elements for accurate continuity tests

I have a GE Range Model# JSP42SN1SS Flat Top Glass slid into Granite that the inside coil of the 9" Radiant Element is apparently burnt out, my concern is do I have to take the stove controls off which are located on the front in order to change the bad element?

Hi I have a Frigidaire stove smooth top stove, your videos have been helpful, But I have replaced the switch and the burner and still doesn’t work, what do u think about this thanks Billy

I wish I watched this last week. I had a problem with current controller attached to heat switch, I couldn't fully take the oven apart, so I tried to remove the current controller in place, I basically ripped it apart so I wrapped it all in insulating tape and left it in place. The next time it switched on there was a loud snap.
What do you think I might have damaged?

I have a GE Triple Radiant Element 12" (part WG02F02055). The outside and inside rings heat but the middle ring does not. I replaced the burner but the same problem occurred. Does this mean that the only other cause of the problem would be a defective infinite switch?

Hi, it is possible to remove, and replace only limiter ? In my element the rod on the top is burned.

The on light (cooktop indicator) on my stove stays on but the rest of the system seems to work fine and turns off/on whenever i need it. what can be a good first place to look at for fixing it?

[Izmena]

hi, will u help me pls, what part do i need to change if my oven big burner not controlled, burn on high all the time

[jeremiah]

i have a Kenmore electric stove touch pad... the element stay on high and it doesn't go off, one of the wire that plug into the element looks burn, do i need to buy the element .

[motieu]

At 4:41 labels 1A and 2A should be reversed per convention. My coil was good but the High Limit Switch was open, not a common break, guess the whole thing has to be replaced ?

[qamarzaman]

i have changed the element and the switch but the burner did not turn on WHY?

[jellybeanteacher]

My burner has power, but will not adjust the temperature, it stays on high.
