Inglis Electric stove burner won't turn off

Won’t your Inglis electric stove burner turn off? Stop using the burner and disconnect power at the circuit breaker until you identify the problem. Start by inspecting the control knob, since a damaged or cracked knob may not rotate the surface element switch stem fully to the off position. If the knob is intact and the burner continues heating, the surface element switch is the most likely cause. Its internal contacts can fuse together and send continuous voltage to the surface element even when the burner is set to off. On Inglis electric stoves with touchpad controls, a faulty oven control board, control panel, or touchpad may also continue sending power to the element. A shorted surface element board is another possibility, especially if the element and wiring are not damaged. Use the wiring diagram and a multimeter only if you are comfortable testing live circuits. Search your model number to find the exact replacement knob, surface element switch, oven control board, control panel, or surface element board for your Inglis electric stove.

01 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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
