Electric Stove Burner Not Working in Philadelphia.

If the oven still bakes and only a burner is dead, the fault is in that burner's own circuit, not in the range as a whole. That is a small, contained repair: the element, the socket it plugs into, or the switch behind the knob. I find the fault and price it on that visit. If a part is needed I tell you the day it lands.

  • Does the oven still work while one surface burner stays cold?
The straightforward case

Yes is good news. It means the range has power and the control board is fine, and the problem is isolated to one burner circuit. On a coil top that is usually the element or the receptacle it plugs into. On a glass top it is usually the radiant element or the switch. Either way it is a contained job, not a whole new stove.

Why it happens

Why one electric burner stops heating.

The usual culprits, in plain words. I confirm which one it is before quoting anything.
01

Burned-out surface element

A coil or a radiant element fails the same way: it develops an open break inside. On a coil top you'll usually see the blister or the burn mark yourself. First thing I check, and the easiest of the four to put right.
02

Burnt burner receptacle

The coil plugs into a socket on the range, and that socket arcs and chars over the years, especially after a boil-over. I see people replace the coil, get no heat anyway, and never suspect the receptacle underneath it. When the socket looks scorched, both get replaced together.
03

Failed infinite switch

Behind the knob sits a switch that cycles power to hold whatever setting you dial in. A failed one can leave the burner stone cold, or stuck wide open with no way to turn it down. Same part, opposite symptom.
04

Broken element wiring or connector

Glass tops wire the element in rather than plug it, and years of heating and cooling can crack a connector or split a terminal. Looks exactly like a dead element until I check the wiring behind it.

How much does it cost to fix an electric stove burner?

Every visit starts with a flat $89 diagnostic, and that $89 is applied to the repair. Every job is backed 90 days. If it is not worth fixing, I tell you that instead of selling you a repair.

One burner on my electric stove will not heat but the oven works. What is wrong?
The range has power, so the fault is in that one burner circuit. On a coil top it is usually the element or the burnt receptacle it plugs into. On a glass top it is usually the radiant element, its wiring, or the switch behind the knob.

I replaced the coil myself and it still does not heat. Why?
That is the classic sign of a burnt receptacle. The socket the coil plugs into arcs and carbonizes over time, so a brand new element still gets no power. The receptacle has to be replaced with it.
Do you work on glass top ranges?
Yes, coil top and smooth glass top both, across Philadelphia and the Main Line. Glass tops take longer to open up, and we plan the visit for that.
