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. Almost always one visit.

  • 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 I can finish in one visit.

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

The coil or the radiant element under the glass has an open break in it. On a coil top you can often see the blister or the burn mark. It is the first thing to check and the simplest to replace.
02

Burnt burner receptacle

On a coil top the element plugs into a socket, and that socket arcs and burns over the years, especially after a boil-over. People replace the coil, the new coil still does not heat, and the receptacle was the problem the whole time. We replace both when the socket is scorched.
03

Failed infinite switch

The switch behind the knob cycles power to the burner to hold a heat setting. When it fails, the burner stays cold, or it sticks on full and will not turn down. Two different symptoms, same part.
04

Broken element wiring or connector

Under a glass top the element is wired in rather than plugged in, and heat cycling can crack a connector or a wire terminal. It looks like a dead element until the wiring is checked.

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

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 so it still finishes in one trip.
