The left front burner on my Whirlpool electric smooth-top cooktop stays on high no matter what setting I use with the switch. It is a dual size burner and is about ten inches across. I bought it 2004. Can you tell me what part will fix it?

Rodger W for Model Number GJC3634LB01

Answer Rodger, The issue would most likely be the infinte switch 9759474 for the unit causing the element to stay on high all the time.

My right rear burner not working-how do I diagnose the problem? Burner, thermostat, what is the part # for the element? Thanks!

Greg for Model Number Amana ACF7225A

Answer Hello Greg, You would want to test your infinite switch from H1 to H2 for 240vac on high, medium and lo. If you do not have 240vac then you need to replace the switch 31926701. If you do have 240vac between H1 and H2 then you would need to replace element 8523697.

Two questions: 1. The left front element does not turn on. I removed the cook top and "went inside" and checked the switch terminals for continuity with a multi meter-got the same reading on all switches. Checked the element and got the same results as all the other single elements. How do I know that the eelment is bad? 2. The right front element sometimes does not turn off but continues with very low heat. I checked the switch [My switch came apart (spring clips holding it onto the cook top)] - a lot of rust! The picture of the switch on your site shows a closed box with a shaft protruding. The knobs on my Amanna seem to be permanently attached. Do I need to be more agressive and pull the knobs to reveal a nut holding the switch in place and then you switch will work?

Shoretom for Model Number AK2T30E4 [MFG P1131576NE]

Answer Shoretom, To test the Left front element assembly, you will need to use the meter and test across the two terminals on the side of the element assembly(not the sensor box) you should have a resistance reading of 40 to 50 (+/- 10%)ohms resistance. If the resistance is in range and based on the information you supplied, you will need to replace the left front infinite switch 32064502. Yes, you will need to remove all the control knobs, and remove the cooktop glass assembly in order to access the two phillips head mounting screws, and drop the switch down and into the burner box. Make sure you label the wires when you remove them from the switch, it'll be easier when you start the reconstruction.

The right front burner works at all settings except on "HI". Do I need a new radiant element or a new switch...also switching cooktop from black&white speckled version to all black. Do I just replace the glass top and knobs? Everything else works great.

John for Model Number AKT-3040e

Answer John, Based on your post you will need the infinite control switch 74011243 Replacing the glass top shoukd not create any difficulties, You'll need to remove the original to access and replace the infinite switch, anyway. Thanks

Danny H for Model Number RF361PXKQ

Answer Danny, The correct part number for the right front radiant element for the model number you supplied is 8523697 . But you may want to consider the infinite switch 3148952, It's usually more apt to fail, than the burner.

My right front element is not working and the hot-indicator stays on (when no burners are on or hot). What would be the correct replacement part for this element? Will replacing the element correct the problem with the hot-indicator light, also? Thanks for your help!

Jackson for Model Number GJC3034LB02

Answer Hello Jackson, The two issues are most likely unrelated. Usually, the hot-indicator remains lit when an infinite switch has failed. The easiest way to determine which infinite switch has failed is to disconnect the unit from the power supply and open the unit. Remove the wires on all of the "P" terminals on the infinite switches and make sure none of them can touch anything. Re-establish the power supply to the unit and touch the wire just removed to the "P" terminal it was removed from. When you touch the wire to the bad infinite switch, the light will light. That is the infinite switch that needs to be replaced. The issue with the surface burner 8523697 is not going to be affected one way or the other by this. Just in case this infinate switch or the other small switch is the bad one, the part number is 3191049. Please let me know if I can assist you further.
