How To Replace an Electric Stove Burner

All you’ll need for this quick appliance repair job is a set of four burners and a wire brush or sandpaper. Check your stove’s model number to make sure you’re buying the correct burners. If you pull out the bottom broiler drawer, you’ll find a sticker on the frame with the model number. You may be able to order a single burner if that’s all you need.

Test the Burners

• Turn the knobs for all the burners to full heat.
• If none of the burners get red-hot after five minutes, check your electrical breaker box to confirm that both breakers for your stove are in the full on position. Your stove needs 220 volts to operate, so if one of the breakers is off, your stove’s lights may work but not the burners.
• If any of the burners don’t heat up, continue to the next step.
