Estate Electric Stove Top Is Not Working — Causes And Solutions
Below, we look at the possible reasons why your Estate electric stove top is not working and what to do about them.
1. Element Coil
If your Estate electric stove top is not working, the element coil is most likely the cause of the problem. When you turn the stove top control knob, the element switch sends voltage to the receptacle. The voltage passes through the receptacle to the element. If the element is faulty, it won’t heat after receiving the voltage. Read this article: Estate Oven Element [How To, Issues & Proven Solutions] to replace the element coil of your Estate stove top.
2. Element Switch
If your Estate electric stove top is not working but the element coil isn’t faulty, you should check the element switch next. The element switch sends voltage to the receptacle. If the element switch fails, it won’t send voltage. Read the “Estate Oven Element” article in the section above to replace the element switch of your Estate stove.
3. Receptacle
A faulty receptacle is the last reason why your Estate stove top is not working. If the receptacle burns out, it won’t pass on the voltage to the element. If you have checked the element coil and switch but they aren’t faulty, the receptacle should be replaced. Read the “Estate Oven Element” article in the section above to do this.
