Sunray Electric stove burner not working
Is your Sunray electric stove burner not working? The surface element switch may be faulty, especially on models that use one for surface-burner operation. The surface element switch is another common cause because it sends voltage to the coil or radiant element. If another burner is the same size, swap the elements to help identify the problem. If the problem follows the element, test that element for continuity. If the same burner remains dead, the switch may need replacement. When two or more burners stop working at the same time, a defective surface element board, which contains the power-regulating relays, is more likely. Check the incoming power as well, since an electric range needs about 220 volts. A loose, damaged, or burned-out coil surface element or radiant surface element can also cause one burner not working. Make sure the element is fully seated in its socket and replace it if it lacks continuity. Use a multimeter only if you are comfortable testing live voltage, and disconnect power before removing parts. Enter your Sunray model number to find the exact replacement the surface element switch, element board, coil or radiant surface element, or radiant element for your stove.

02 - Sunray 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 - Sunray 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 - Sunray 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 - Sunray 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.
