Electric Range & Cooktop - Surface Burners Not Heating Well

To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this appliance from the power supply before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

Checking Electric Surface Burners That Are Not Heating Well

If the burners are partially heating or not working properly, check the following.

• See if the burner could be loose. Some ranges have Calrod plug-in coil burners which can become loose in the socket. Unplug the burner and reinstall.
• Make sure the correct burner is selected, matching the correct burner to the proper switch.
• Make sure the pan has a flat, smooth bottom. For smooth-top radiant and induction surface burner elements, it is essential that the pan have a flat, smooth bottom for proper operation. If the pan is not flat, the heat sensors built into these elements will prematurely cycle and turn off the heat to the element.
