The light indicator stays on all the time. The right front dual element is cool - doesn't get hot. The 3 other units work fine. What needs replacement?
Thank you.

Answer Dave,
You will want to check the infinite switch on the unit. You can check from H1 to H2 with the switch 3605F305-19 on for 240vac and if there is not correct power then the switch is bad and needs to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
I got new replacement switch for rf dual burner kit # 903057-9010 and the instructions are greek to me. I tried to hook up 1 wire at time and thought I had it right but it tripped the 40 amp breaker, may of fried the new switch. I have to install another one so I need info. on how to do it. I can't do it with the instructions provided. Is there any way to see what wire goes to what terminal by color or by where the wires go to the element etc? I need to replace this switch but the new one is different than the new one. I dont want to ruin another new switch.

Answer Hi Albert. Tripping breakers mean you have a direct short. It can be possible that unless you see a burnt / blown out part, the switch part # 903057-9010 may still be good. Blk. wire with a jumper feed will feed both P-2's. Orange # 18 gauge wire goes to the pilot and the # 4 switch connection. Red wire #16 gauge jumper is from the # terminal to the inner element connection. This is the same side that hooks to the limiter which the other end of the limiter is a brown # 16 gauge wire going to the #2 connection of the R.F. Sw. The other side of the switch has a red # 16 gauge wire hooks to it from the jumper to L-2 connection of the RT.R. Sw., jumping to the Lt. rear sw.(@L_2) finally dead front at (ending) the P-1 connection on the Lt. front switch. The limiter has a black #18 gauge wire connected to it that is a jumper series to all limiters on the same connection. The limiter has a brown,gray or an orange #18 gauge feeding one side of the hot surface l.e.d. indicator bulb. There is a red # 16 gauge wire that goes to the P1 connection of the switch, opposite of the brown wire on #2 connection going to the limiter. Thank you.
