When your Electrolux electric stove burner is not working, the problem may be a failed the surface element switch, surface element board, incoming power connection, coil surface element, or radiant surface element. Start by checking the surface element switch, then test the surface element switch by swapping the element with another burner of the same size. If the problem follows the element, the element is defective; if the same burner remains dead, the switch may have failed. When two or more burners stop working at once, the surface element board or its relays may not be supplying power. An electric range needs about 220 volts, so a voltage problem at the outlet can also leave a stove burner not working. Make sure a coil or radiant surface element is fully seated in its receptacle and inspect it for damage. For a glass-top stove burner not working, test the coil or radiant element for continuity with a multimeter. A radiant element without continuity has burned out and must be replaced. Enter your Electrolux range model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific stove.

02 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Surface Element Switch
The surface element switch sends voltage to the surface element coil. If the switch is defective, the surface element will not work. If there is another element of the same size on the stove, try switching the elements. If the surface element still doesn’t work, the surface element switch is likely defective. The surface element switch cannot be tested or repaired—if you suspect the switch is defective, replace it.
03 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Surface Element Board
The surface element board has relays that regulate the power supply to the burners. If one or more of the relays fails, the surface element won’t work. If two or more burners fail at the same time, this indicates that the surface element board is likely at fault. If only one surface element won’t work, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the surface element has continuity, the surface element board might be defective.
It is possible that the range is not receiving proper voltage. Electric ranges require 220 volts of alternating current. If the range is receiving significantly less voltage, the surface element won’t work. To determine if the electrical outlet has sufficient voltage, use a multimeter to test the incoming power at the wall socket.

05 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Coil Surface Element
First, make sure that the element is pushed all the way into the socket. Second, inspect the surface element for damage. If the element appears to be damaged, replace it. Lastly, use a multimeter to test the surface element for continuity. If the surface element does not have continuity, replace it.
06 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Radiant Surface Element
The most common cause when the surface element won't work is the radiant surface element itself. The radiant surface element - or heating element - can burn out similar to a light bulb. If the surface element won't work and it doesn't have continuity, it will need to be replaced. The radiant surface element is not repairable.
