I turned off all power to the range. Took the burner out by disconnecting all lead wires and tested with a continuity meter. The inner ring showed now connection meaning it was burned out.
I ordered the triple element through ApplianePartsPros who had it on my doorstep in TWO days.
Not only that , but their site provided a video illustrating the process. A great company made this job rewarding and saved hundreds of dollars. Thank you...I highly recommend this company for appliance replacement parts.
