Bosch Electric stove burner not working

When your Bosch electric stove burner is not working, the problem is usually a failed surface element switch, surface element board, or heating element. Start by checking the Bosch the surface element switch listed for your model, then test the surface element switch, which sends voltage to the coil or radiant element. If another burner of the same size works, swap the elements to help isolate the problem. If two or more burners stop working at once, the surface element board or its relays may have failed. The range also needs the correct incoming power, typically 220 volts AC, so a voltage test at the wall outlet can identify a power supply problem. For one burner not working, inspect the coil surface element or radiant surface element for damage and use a multimeter to test continuity. a coil or radiant surface element must be fully seated in its socket, while a radiant element with no continuity must be replaced. Disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your Bosch range model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific electric stove.

02 - Bosch 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 - Bosch 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 - Bosch 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 - Bosch 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.
