Carolyn for Model Number Kenmore Smooth Top Model#790.9653601 Need to know how I would determine if element is bad or infinite switch is bad....left front element and right rear element will not heat.

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 Read More...
