Electric Cooktop: How to Diagnose a Broken Cooktop

Electric Cooktop: The double burner is not working. How to diagnose and repair.
Replacement infinite switch (part number 8203534 ): amzn.to/2PxftJR
Voltmeter to test circuit continuity and resistance: amzn.to/2Dj256h
Part number 8203534 is the new switch model number. My old switch that failed was part number 3188516.
The switch was labeled TUDP 406, 12A 240VAC . The new switch indicated it was 15 amps. Higher amp rating on the new switch is okay, FYI.

500 kitchenaid branded websites and not a single one assisted like you did. Thank you so much.

Great detail, thank you for taking the time to film your repair and teach others.

Thank you so much for the wonderful video,...why wonderful, because the explanation is very clear with full of patience. After seeing this video I have solved same kind of issue with my cooktop

[@kerribusby9667]

Thank you!! I was so upset when the element tested good. If it weren’t for this video, I wouldn’t have attempted to work with the infinite switch. Seemed like no power. Tested a second one to confirm that one worked. Ordered as well as OEM knobs. I put it together and I have 4 working burners. The broken one was a dual that was out of order since we bought the house. Thanks again!!

Thanks very much. I appreciated it for uploading this video. My cooktop has same symptoms. It's save me time of how to un-assemble it.

Thanks for the video! Any thoughts on an electric stovetop like this one here, that doesn't work at all? Even the fan doesnt work! Thanks!

You are the Boss.

Must always disconnect wires on the element when Ohm testing could pick up reading from the other element wires it shares. also would not recommend ordering electrical parts from Amazon, better guarantee from supply house. Great job overall!!

[@FD-dh2fu]

[@businkuna2417]

My stove top is not working it desplays a key. What could be causing this please help

[@ricardoarturocastillo6495]

DIY Technician did not test the new part in case it was a bad part delivered. It happens when ordering from a parts supplier or other. In this case he got lucky.

Those radiant cooktops are the worst cooktops, junk it and get something else, anything else. Waste of money

smart enough to troubleshoot an appliance but not smart enough to figure out that the vendor you are suggesting for replacement parts is undermining democracy in 10 different ways...
