You will need a wiring diagram and a multi-tester (volt meter, etc). Find the diagram for the elements, trace your wires to that switch, and check for voltage coming out of that infinite switch. If you have voltage, then its your element (85% chance its the element anyway). Good Luck.

It could be either. You will have to test voltage to burner. If it’s getting voltage to part of burner that’s not working, then burner is bad. If it’s not getting voltage, switch is bad.
It is possible the burner itself is bad. Most tops have a couple screws under the glass panel the will allow you to open up the top and install a new burner element. these elements are very fragile so be careful installing a new burner element. The other possibility is a burned wire or a bad switch.
Either the knob has gone out or the burner element. I would test the knob first to see if there is current when turned to the large zone. If the knob is working, next would be to test the burner to see if the outer ring has burned out. I would guess more likely the control has gone out. Burners have less failure (typically).
This is a inner/outer burner type assembly? Sounds like a glass top. Either way, your switch for that burner or the burner needs to be replaced. If you are able and it is possible, inter change switches to see if it makes a difference. Interchange Large with large, small with small. If yous switches are connected as one unit, you will not be able to do this. Sorry, I have not looked up your wiring diagram.
It is the burner control (behind the knob). The triac in the control has failed. $50 item, 10 minute change. Just make note which wire goes to which terminal.
I doubt that it is the control board, as the board has little to do with the stove top, but rather controls the display and the oven temperature/feedback monitoring.
its been my experience that the dual burner switch is far more likely the culprit, unless you can physiclaly see the outer ring is broken( visual inspection works wonders. as far as trying to ohm out i generally look at theelemnet itself (4 wires lead to the elemnt you can trace 1 to the outer portion of element, and 1 to the inner portion.WITH POWER OFF Iswithc those 2 wires and the restore power try element ad watch for outer ring to work inner ring no good. now i know its the switch not sending power. reset wires and order new switch
If only the outer ring of the element is getting hot then the element is bad. The elements should have a 5 yr warranty that covers the part only so check your owners manual.
