We have a GE Spectra electric range and the left burners would stay on. My husband unplugged the switch in the back while the item was still plug. The wires touch the back panel and its sparked. Now the oven and all the burner does not go on. However, the display is blinking. Do we need a new range? or can it be repaired? Did he blow the appliance computer? Please help!

sounds like a bad infinite switch.

Replace the switch for that burner. (the shaft of the switch has the burner temp knob on it)

IF THE BURNER STAYS ON I WOULD SAY ITS YOUR BURNER SWITCH THAT IS SHORTED OUT.GOOD LUCK!

UNPLUG THIS UNIT IMMEDIATELY!! Find a GOOD appliance repair store and take your make/model/serial numbet..etc..etc,, with you.. they will be able to get you what youneed...

The burner control. (Reostat) The think the knob controles is likely shorting out within itself. Replace it.  

If it's the light that indicated the element is on, replace the switch. If it's the light that indicated the element is hot, replace the element.

Unplug the Range from the wall completely. Lift up the top to see under the burners and make sure they are contacting the connections for current. If they seem to be tight, plug it back in and try it. If that doesn't work, then you have an "Infinite Switch" malfunction. www.marcone.com is an excellent source for finding a do it yourself part to fix this. Please do not attempt to replace this switch with the range plugged in.

I would first check the infinite control switch (#WB24T10029) the part the knob slips onto. The next thing I'd check is the erc (#WB27T10231) control board. Hope that is helpful!

you need a new switch that is in the control panel

I will need the complete model #. There should be a sticker near the bottom front behind the drawer. Can't use the # that is on the owners manual.
