The element remains on high or does not regulate heat normally. The element heats intermittently or at inconsistent levels. Check Before Replacing Disconnect electrical power before inspecting the switch or wiring. With power disconnected and the range cool, compare the affected 6-inch element with another element of the same size; if the element itself works in another position but the original position does not, the switch or circuit may require further diagnosis. Check for visibly loose, burned, or damaged wiring connections around the switch without touching energized components. Confirm that the replacement switch matches the appliance model and the 6-inch element position before installation. Pro Tip If the element stays on high or fails to regulate heat, compare the affected circuit with another same-size element before condemning the switch; other components can produce similar symptoms.
