Hardwick Electric stove burner not working

Is your Hardwick electric stove burner not working? The surface element switch is the most likely cause. This switch sends voltage to the surface element, and it cannot be repaired or tested reliably, so replacement is usually the fix. If another burner of the same size works, swap the elements to help narrow the problem. When two or more burners stop working at the same time, the surface element board may have a failed relay. If only one burner is affected, test the element for continuity before replacing the board. An incoming power problem can also prevent an electric range from working correctly because it requires about 220 volts AC. Check the wall outlet with a multimeter if several burners are affected. Next, inspect the coil or radiant surface element or radiant surface element for damage, confirm the coil is fully seated in its receptacle, and test it for continuity. A failed coil or radiant surface element or radiant element must be replaced. These checks can help identify why your electric stove burner is not heating. Enter your Hardwick range model number to find the exact replacement part for your appliance.

02 - Hardwick 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 - Hardwick 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 - Hardwick 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 - Hardwick 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.
