An aluminum saucepan had overheated and melted onto the element.
Unplugged the element and the melted on pot. Plugged in the new element. I thought I might need a whole new cooktop but a new element was very easy to find online.
after pulling away from wall and unplugging remove 5 screws in upper back panel lift off being careful of sharp edges if part of lens is still in hole push it out towards the front insert lens from front of unit slide light assy over pin on back of lens replace back panel plug in range push back against wall check for level you're done
First I unplugged the element that wasn't working and switched it with one that was to confirm that it was the burner element, and not the cooktop wiring, that was the problem. Once that was confirmed, I ordered a new element from partselect.com. Upon arrival of the new element several days later, I plugged it into the empty plug on the cooktop and voila, we're cooking on all 4 again.
1. Order part 2. Remove 2 top screws holding vent cover and carefully remove cover 3. Open door all the way and lift, door will come of the microwave 4. Set door on a flat surface facing down 5. You will need a flat screwdriver,carefully set the screwdriver between the door and the black plastic and pry out completely 6. Remove screws holding handle. (This will be a good time to clean the inside of this door) 7. Attach new handle tighten screws 8. Put black plastic back in door and press on all around make sure that is set in place 9. Re-install door and vent.
I just plugged it into the receptacle on the stovetop and turned the thing on, and it worked! I'd been without the 4th burner for quite some time. Nice to have it back!
had to replace a piece of the wire harness and als o the surface element prongs were melted so i replaed them and now the stove is working perfect..thanks parts select you saved me hundreds of dollars,
Took off the door, disassembled the door and replaced the springs. I had to retap the holes in the hinge frames as they were not threaded well. Put the door back together, hung it on the stove and the door closes all the way now.
Unplugged range and cut wires on existing burner plug. Connected the replacement plug with the provided wire-nuts. Secured with provided shrink-wrap. Reattached burner plug to to range top, and plugged in the burner coil. Presto.
