Gaggenau Electric stove burner not working
When your Gaggenau electric stove burner is not working, the problem may be the surface element switch, surface element board, incoming power, coil surface element, or radiant surface element. Start with the surface element switch, which sends voltage to the burner. If another element of the same size works in that position but the original burner does not, the switch may be defective. If two or more burners stopped working at the same time, the surface element board and its power-regulating relays are more likely at fault. Your electric range also needs about 220 volts of incoming power, so test the wall outlet with a multimeter if the cooktop is not receiving proper voltage. For one burner, make sure the coil or radiant surface element is fully seated in its socket, then inspect it and test it for continuity. A radiant surface element can burn out like a light bulb and must be replaced if it lacks continuity. These issues can cause an electric stove burner not working, a stove element not working, or an electric burner not heating.

02 - Gaggenau 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 - Gaggenau 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 - Gaggenau 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 - Gaggenau 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.
