Electrolux Electric stove burner won't turn off
If your Electrolux electric stove burner won't turn off, stop using the burner and switch off power to the range at the circuit breaker if the element continues heating. The most likely cause is a damaged or cracked control knob that cannot rotate the surface element switch to the off position. Next, check the surface element switch. Its internal contacts can fuse together and send continuous voltage to the radiant surface element even when the knob is turned off. If your Electrolux range uses touch controls, a defective oven control board, control panel, or surface element board may be sending power continuously because of a shorted component or button. Before replacing a control board, confirm the surface element and wiring are not shorted, and use the wiring diagram and a multimeter only if you are comfortable testing live voltage. This troubleshooting applies to an electric stove burner not turning off, a stove burner that stays hot, and a glass top stove burner that won't turn off. Enter your Electrolux range model number to find the exact replacement knob, surface element switch, oven control board, control panel, or surface element board for your appliance.
01 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Knob
If a range's surface element won't turn off, you should first inspect the control knob for damage. A broken knob may be unable to rotate the surface element switch stem to stop voltage being sent to the element.

02 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Surface Element Switch
The surface element switch sends voltage to the surface element coil. Sometimes, when the surface element switch fails, the electrical contacts inside the switch fuse together, causing the switch to send continuous voltage to the surface element. If the surface element switch is defective, replace it.

03 - Broken or cracked control knob
If the control knob is cracked or broken it may not be turning the stem on the switch. Inspect the control knob and confirm the switch is in the off position. If the control knob is damaged, it will need to be replaced.

04 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Oven Control Board
On some range models, the control board provides voltage to all of the appliance's electrical components. If the board is defective, it might send continuous voltage to a surface element even after the element has been turned off. If you've confirmed the surface element itself has not shorted and the element is controlled by a touchpad, it's likely the control board is faulty. You can inspect the board for signs of damage or a shorted component. You can also use a multimeter to test for voltage reaching the bake or broil elements or igniters after reviewing the appliance's wiring diagram.

05 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Control Panel
A range's control panel can allow the user to select the heating functions for both a stovetop and an oven. If the control panel is defective, one or more of the buttons may have shorted and you will not be able to turn off the element. If you've confirmed the surface element itself has not shorted and the element is controlled by a touchpad, it's likely that touchpad or control panel is faulty.
Highly Likely
06 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Surface Element Board
If a range's surface element is controlled by a touchpad, it's possible the surface element board has a shorted component that is sending continuous voltage to the element. You can inspect the board for signs of burning or a shorted component. If the surface element and wiring are not shorted it is likely the surface element board is damaged and will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
