If it was the burner element it either would work or not (no in between)
It has to be the switch

Inner burner-- front right burner - does not heat up

you have either a bad switch or a bad element. If you plan on repairing this yourself, turn off the power to the unit BEFORE removing it from countertop. A continuity tester will be needed to properly test components. Nice Saturday morning homeowner project.

Poping sound, sparks shooting out and 220 circuit breaker out

Did you move the breaker fully off before turning it back on? make sure the offending burner is off.

It sounds as though the element shorted out.

My Kenmore cooktop will not heat properly, all 4 burners. They turn on and heat a little bit, but the burner on lights do not light up and the burners do not heat to full temperature. I closed my oven...

hi my name is mark, a service tech needs to check the voltage to the cook top. you will probably find improper voltage. check data plate for proper voltage should be 208v or 230v depending onwhere you live.

Kenmore Electric Counter Unit 43421

You are right it is the infinate heat control. This has no thermostat. It works by letting the burner cycle on for longer periods of time on the higher settings on high it is on constantly. The contacts are probably fused inside This part shouldn't be more than $25.
