Troubleshoot smoothtop Electric Cooktop?

Question

I have a Fridgidaire 36 inch smoothtop Electric Cooktop. One of the 4 burners is not functioning. Any tips on how I can fix it without calling anyone..I am willing to pay for labor but the diagnostic fee is ridiculously high. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

FIRST, check the fuses.  They will either be on the top under a flip up lid or upper back of the stove.

If all of the fuses are okay then lift the front of the cooking surface up and it should lift up to a 45 deg angle or so and give you access to the elements and electrical connections underneath.  MAKE SURE YOU TURN OFF THE POWER AT THE PANEL OR UNPLUG THE STOVE FROM THE WALL FIRST!!!
