Magic Chef electric drop-in range 5898VVV, left front burner does not heat. Other burners work ok. There are small ceramic-bodied parts in the circuit that look like they might be some sort of safety switches or suchlike. The wiring diagram is not too clear re circuit operation. Could use some guidance on whether these ceramic pieces can be tested for failure. Otherwise simple enough to test switch for output and burner for resistance.

two thiongs, you might have a bad switch( under control knob), or before you try that ck the old elemnt that you replaced, on the back of the limiter( the glass rod that goes through elemnt itlself), you'll see little letters 1a,2a,1b,2b.--- new replacemnets depending on age are wired differently, they too will have 1a2a1b2b but in different position. id check that first

check the burner socket, it is likely that contact is being lost where the burner connects to the hardwired portion of the system (the socket). It is not unusual for the socket to "burn up" when there is a poor connection to the burner resulting in the burner being replaced and the new burner not working or working intermittently.

This is usually the burner or the receptacle. Here is a video that will walk you thru testing and replacing a burner and receptacle. They are both inexpensive and easy to replace. It may be a different model but the testing will be the same. You can also enter your model # for diagrams and illustrations for your specific model. All parts come with installation instructions.
