Haier Electric stove burner temperature is erratic
When your Haier electric stove burner temperature is erratic, the burner may cycle unpredictably, run too hot or too cold, or stop heating intermittently. The most likely cause is a defective surface element switch, which can send inconsistent voltage to the surface element coil. If the issue continues after switching the element with another element of the same size, the switch is likely faulty. Next, check the surface element board, especially if two or more burners have erratic temperatures, since failed relays can interrupt power. A defective range control board or oven control board can also send intermittent voltage to the heating element. If only one electric stove burner is affected, test the surface element for continuous electrical continuity before condemning the board. A burned element receptacle, damaged element prongs, or a loose or burnt wire connection can also cause burner temperature problems. Disconnect power before inspecting or testing electrical parts, and use the wiring diagram when checking voltage. Enter your Haier range model number to find the exact replacement surface element switch, surface element board, control board, element receptacle and wire kit, or other part for your appliance.
01 - Haier 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 may only receive intermittent voltage resulting in erratic temperature changes. If there is another element of the same size on the stove, try switching the elements. If the surface element still only works intermittently, 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.

02 - Haier 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 may only work intermittently, resulting in erratic temperature changes. If two or more burners have erratic performance at the same time, this indicates that the surface element board is likely at fault. If only one surface element is erratic, use a multimeter to test the element for electrical continuity. If the surface element has continuity at all times, the surface element board might be defective.

03 - Haier Range/Stove/Oven Control Board
A range or cooktop's control board will send voltage to a stovetop heating element when the element's control knob or touchpad button is set to the “on” position. If the control board is defective, the voltage may not be sent to the heating element or only sent intermittently resulting in erratic operation. 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 heating element or elements after reviewing the appliance's wiring diagram.

04 - Haier Range/Stove/Oven Oven Control Board
A range or cooktop's control board will send voltage to a stovetop heating element when the element's control knob or touchpad button is set to the “on” position. If the control board is defective, the voltage may not be sent to the heating element or only sent intermittently resulting in erratic operation. 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 heating element or elements after reviewing the appliance's wiring diagram.
Highly Likely
05 - Haier Range/Stove/Oven Element Receptacle and Wire Kit
The surface element plugs onto a receptacle. Over time, the contacts in the receptacle can burn out. If the receptacle contacts burn out, the surface element may only receive power intermittently or not at all. To determine if the element receptacle has failed, inspect the receptacle contacts. If the contacts are visibly burnt or damaged, replace the element receptacle. In addition, examine the element prongs for signs of burning. If the prongs are burnt, replace both the element and element receptacle.
Common
06 - Loose or Burnt Wire Connection
These wires commonly burn out near the heating element. To determine if a wire has burned out, inspect the wires leading to the element. If a wire is burned out, it will often be visibly burnt.
