Randall - For model number 790-42729 700

May 28, 2026

The front heating elements or eyes will come on at low to medium setting but then cuts off. If I turn the temperature knob up it will come on and stay on at the 8 or Hi setting but this temperature is too high to cook and burns food.

Hi Randall, thank you for reaching out. According to our research, the issue could be with the infinite switches for the front surface elements. Their internal cycling mechanism might have worn out or broken. This failure prevents power cycling at lower settings and allows voltage to pass only when set to the uninterrupted “Hi” position. You may need to replace the infinite switches for the front surface elements; the infinite switches for the left front and right front elements are part number PS2342881. These are sold individually. We hope this solves your problem!
