Roper Electric stove burner not working
When your Roper electric stove burner is not working, the surface element switch is the first part to check. This switch sends voltage to the coil or radiant surface element, and it cannot be repaired if defective. Try switching the suspect element with another element of the same size. If the problem stays with the burner location, the switch may need replacement. Next, check the surface element board, especially if two or more burners stopped working at the same time. Its relays regulate power to the burners. If the board appears functional, test the incoming power, since an electric range requires about 220 volts AC. A loose or damaged coil or radiant surface element, or a burned-out radiant element, can also cause one burner not working. Make sure the element is fully seated in the receptacle, inspect it for damage, and use a multimeter to test continuity. A failed element must be replaced. Enter your Roper range model number to find the exact surface element switch, surface element board, coil or radiant surface element, or radiant element for your electric stove. Always disconnect power before servicing the range.

02 - Roper 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 - Roper 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.

04 - Incoming Power Problem
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 - Roper 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 - Roper 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.
