Electric 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.

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 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, induction, and old solid disk 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.

If this does not help, you may need service. For service, please schedule an appointment with Bodewell.
