Litton Electric stove burner not working

When your Litton electric stove burner is not working, the problem may be a defective surface element switch, surface element board, incoming power supply, coil surface element, or radiant surface element. Start by switching the suspected coil or radiant surface element with another element of the same size. If the burner still does not heat, test the element for continuity with a multimeter. No continuity means the coil or radiant surface element has burned out and needs replacement. If the element has continuity, the surface element switch may not be sending voltage, or the surface element board may have a failed relay. When two or more burners stop working at the same time, the board or the range's incoming 220-volt power is more likely at fault. Also check that a coil or radiant surface element is fully seated in its receptacle and inspect it for visible damage. On some Litton models, the surface element switch may also be listed as a possible cause. Whether you are searching for "electric stove burner not working," "stove element not working," or "one burner not working," enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your Litton range.

02 - Litton 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 - Litton 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 - Litton 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 - Litton 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.
