The 8” coil surface burner element is used to supply heat to the top of the range for cooking. This element carries 2350 watts, and due to an update by the manufacturer is now a 5-turn element. If the element is not providing heat, the switch or element might have gone bad and will need to be replaced. You can use a multimeter to test for continuity to see which part is defective. Please make sure the element is cool before replacing it. This is a genuine OEM surface burner element. Disconnect the power to the range or cooktop before starting the repair.
