Do-It-Yourself Story

I first traded the right front burner element for the left rear burner element and the right front element worked in the left back, and the left back would not work in the right front. I looked at the burner element receiver (i.e. the device into which the burner plugs) and it looked fine. So I replaced the switch, but the right front burner still did not work. I put the old switch back in and played around with the wires to the right front element receiver. I discovered that one of the wires had slipped out and when I pushed it back into place, I heard and felt a "click" and the wire could not be pulled back out. Plugging the element into the receiver and turning on the old switch caused the right front burner to heat up. Lesson learned: don't just visually inspect the burner receiver. Make certain that the wires are still plugged into the receiver correctly.
