Kim for Model Number JSP46SP2SS The big eye on my cooktop will cut on for about 10 seconds and then will go off. It has to cool down for a while before it will come back on. do I need to replace the element or could the problem be coming from the switch? I know that the burners cut on and off during normal cooking to regulate the temp but mine just stays off for a period before it will come back on. It won't come back on on it own, I have to cut the burner off and then cut it back on later. I have found the burner and switch on your site, but I just want to get the right part to start with. Thanks for the help!
Answer Hello Kim, that problem is typical of a failing high-temperature limiter that is part of the burner assembly, however to be certain it would be necessary to duplicate the problem, and at that time access the burner's infinite switch and test for the correct voltage at the infinite switches terminals with a multimeter. You would be looking for 240v at terminal 2 blue wire to terminal 4 blue/black wire.If you do not have a multimeter or are uncomfortable doing a live voltage test then the other way to look at it is it would not be uncommon to replace both the switch and the burner at the same time as if this is a high use burner and s it is starting to fail then the contacts in the switch may be worn also and may fail soon.
