STOVE H E L P F U L H I N T
Preventing Cook top Element Failure in an Electric Stoves
Failure to insert all stove elements fully into the burner block receptacle of electric stove can cause carbon to form in the gap between the terminals of the stove element and burner block. Eventually this carbon will create a wall of insulation oil between the stove parts, and the stove element will fail to heat.
To prevent this damage, connect an stove element in the following way:
1. When inserting the terminals into the burner block, hold the element as closely parallel to the stove as possible.
2. Press the stove elements firmly until they are correctly seated all the way into the burner block.
REPLACING A DEFECTIVE ELECTRIC STOVE COOKTOP ELEMENT
PROBLEM: One area of a stove cook top element on an electric stove glows more brightly than the rest of its surface.
- Cooking elements of most electric stoves are resistance wire made of nickel and chromium
- Resistance wire that is inside a sheath containing magnesium oxide.
- A glowing spot indicates that the sheath has broken down in that area, and the exposed wire is burning hotter than the rest of the stove element. The element will soon fail completely, and any cookware coming into contact with the red-hot spot may be scorched.
- To replace a stove top element, first make sure the stove element is cold, then grasp the element and carefully pull it out of the stove. Most elements are plugged into a stove burner tugging gently oil the element should cause it to come free. Buy a new stove element of the same type from an stove parts dealer. Plug it securely into the stove burner block by holding it as low as possible and pushing in forcefully.
- The stove terminals of some elements are secured to wires with screws. If you have this type of element. Turn off current to the stove, and carefully pull the element toward you until the terminals are revealed. Loosen the terminal screws, disconnect the wires from the damaged element, and screw a new stove element to the wires.
TESTING AN ELECTRIC STOVE COOKTOP ELEMENT
PROBLEM: One element on your electric range does not get warm.
You must test the non working element to make certain it, and not some other part, has failed. To do so, follow these steps:
1. Most electric ranges have two cook top elements that measure 51/2 inches in diameter, and two that measure V, inches in diameter. To test a nonworking element, first he sure the burner elements are turned off and are cold. Then transfer the nonworking element into the burner block of a working element of the same size. Turn oil the power. If the element still doesn't glow, the defective element must be replaced.
2. If the nonworking element is one of a kind in size, remove the element from the range. Hold the probes of an ohmmeter to the ends of the element. If the ohmmeter need points to infinity (x), the element is defective and must be replaced.
