I have a whirlpool drop in ceramic stove and a burner isnt working. i had a repair man come and he was trying to pry the stove up but was having trouble because the person that insatlled it years ago caulked it in and the ceramic top cracked about 9 inches what should i do

Based on the symptoms described, it is possible that the issue lies with the ceramic element that the burners connect to at the back of the burner unit. This could be causing a short circuit between the two burners, which is preventing the large burner from being adjusted lower when both burners are on.

It is also possible that there is an issue with the wiring or connections between the two burners, which is causing a similar short circuit. However, given that the smaller burner appears to be working fine, this seems less likely.

Another potential cause of this issue could be a problem with the control board or another component of the stove's electrical system. However, given that replacing the infinite switch and receptacle for the large burner did not resolve the issue, it seems less likely that this is the root cause.

In order to determine the exact cause of this issue, it may be necessary to consult with a professional appliance repair technician who can diagnose and repair the stove.

Remove the front panel to find where the gas injectors enter the burner tubes you will see they are cut away and have a screw holding an outer ring which is adjustable, open them up more to get more air in .

It is simple . Before the process make sure the the power is off .. There screws on the back after removing them you can lift the top n easily remove the none working ones . You can buy the spear ones online or local shop . I have done it myself or search YouTube with model number youse come a cross with repair option . Good luck .

YOU DO NOT HAVE PURCHASE A NEW ONE , TAKE NOTE OF TYPE OF ELEMENTS AND ,I E LARGE/ OR SMALL, AND MODEL NUMBER AND CONTACT SUPPLIER FOR REPLACEMENTS, THEN YOU CAN TAKE OUT BROKEN ELEMENTS AND REPLACE WITH NEW ONES.

this is a ceramic top i am guessing.
this is normal, it isthe way it is designed.
it does this so that it does not cause a heat fracture to the glass.. it will continue to turn on and off.. but if you put a pot of cold water on it you will find that this will happen alot less frequently.

Hi

If the burner is not burning hot, and there is a low flame then this is often a pressure regulator problem. Most often the regulator is found where the gas line enters the gas range. I have a picture of what the flame characteristics should look like. If the igniter on different burner doesn’t work, and there is no spark at that burner then you will have to check the same items as mentioned above. This is a typical spark module wire diagram.

Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.


Thanks

check all wires to burner and switch. If they are good .....burner burnt out or switch no good.

I want to say that since I posted my original problem with black spots appearing on the Schott Ceran top, I took pictures of the top and attached them to a complaint sent to Maytag. Approximately 3 days later, a Maytag representative phoned and offered a brand new top-basically stating that there is a fault with the tops. They would not pay for the labor to replace the top. My husband downloaded the instructions from Maytag website and installed it himself. These spots actually appear from within the surface and are not the result of a boil over, etc. The spots on my burner grew to the width of the burner. If you search the internet, you will see many others with the same problem with the Schott Ceran tops. I will never buy another!
