Now, even though it’s usually highly recommended to contact professional appliance repair specialists as soon as something malfunctions, certain fairly simple projects can be handled on your own. You can solve quite a few different issues associated with the electric range burner and avoid the expenses you’d have to make for a professional. So, with this in mind, here are two quite common issues and the solutions to them.
A bad burner or a socket
In order to determine whether the problem is with your burner, you need to test it by replacing it with another one. If the new one doesn’t work as well – it’s a sign to call the professionals.
If one of your electric burners malfunctions or is not working as it’s supposed to, the chances are that it’s either a bad burner, bad connection in the socket or a faulty switch.
Now, if you’ve switched the malfunctioning burner with one which works on other stoves, the issue is likely hidden within the infinite switch or in the burner socket. The connections within the socket can actually burn out. This is going to cause them to fail in providing power. Inspect the socket if the prongs look burned and replace it if it’s needed. It’s not a complicated procedure but as every single unit is different, changing your individual user’s manual is advised.
Replacing the switch
This is a different story. If your switch has burned out, the burner isn’t going to get any power and hence – it won’t heat up. The knob that you turn in order to control the temperature of the stove slides the shaft of the infinite switch, causing it to trigger the temperature change. In order to change the switch, you need to open the back panel of the oven in order to access it. Keep in mind that there are different ranges. You need to unplug the range and test the switch with a common multi meter. This is going to determine whether it needs to be replaced or not.
If the meter shows adequate readings – it’s time to contact the professionals as the issue might be far more integral than you thought. One of the most important things to consider if you are going to be performing DIY repairs on any kind of electric appliances, including your oven, is to make sure that the appliance is unplugged. Your safety is top priority and you need to ensure it. Also, if you think that the repair is beyond your scope, you should contact the professional appliance repair technicians. It’s better to spend some money than to make matters worse as it’s definitely more expensive to buy a new unit altogether.
