Robert D Wake Forest , NC October 31, 2016 Appliance: Maytag 30" Electric Built-In Downdraft Cooktop JED8430BDB18 Glass cooktop stove had one burner that was not heating Repair: Replace damaged heating element. Troubleshooting: Locating the problem was easy using an ohm meter. The resistive wire element had very high resistance when it should be <50 ohms. I was then able to see the burnt gap in the filament. My problem was not the heat controller, which is simply a bi-metal switch that flexes to break electrical contact. It pushes against an adjustable spring force you set with the knob position. It should ohm like a switch. Part Locating: Easy with the illustrated parts list and some help from AppliancePartsPros.com because my manufacturer listed several options for my front left burner. AppliancePartsPros.com got me the correct part and fast too! Installation: Way easy with just two screws and a few wire connections you slide off and on.I took a picture but there were other heating elements I could copy to ensure reconnecting was correct. Thanks so much AppliancePartsPros.com!! Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
