Need to Replace Heat ELements

Radiant heating elements are often dual elements and if your range uses these dual elements then yes, this is quite possible. However, other faults could cause a healthy element to not work properly.

1. Contacts in the control switch could be burned out or seized,
2. A wiring connector could be loose or oxidised
3. The internal wiring may have developed a fault.
4. The thermostat (if thermostatically controlled) may have failed
5. Multiple, consequential or other fault conditions may exist.

A DIY 'trial and error' fix may work first time, but could end up being more expensive (and risky) than getting a professional in with the knowledge, experience and test gear to diagnose the source and extent of the fault before ordering spare parts.
I hope this helps.

Won't matter much... except long elements generally burn out less often than short ones since heat is spread across larger surface area .. assuming both elements are same wattage.
Lower wattage element will heat water less quickly by a few gallons per hour.

Sounds like your Auxillary heat is out (the element that is energized when an air to air heat pump can't keep up with the thermostat setpoints).

Replace heating elements can be found at amazon, click here and take a look: Amazon com rheem heating element . I hope this was helpful... cheers

the surge from the original element burning out has destroyed the control board if you can't hear the relays on the board clicking when you power up the elements bake or broil then its either the low voltage side of the board,if you hear clicking then the relays are working but the contacts are burned out and can't pass the current to heat the oven or briol elements

sorry to say but when you drain an electric water heater and dont turn off the power to it . the elements fry. so make sure breaker is off drain tank and replace the elements refill and then turn breaker back on and all should be fine.hope this helps have a good day!

If the elements only works partially or not getting red hot at the "Hi" setting, the problem might be with a burned out receptacle that the elements plug into. If this is the case, replace both the elements and the receptacle.

You can usually tell when the element itself burns out. It might have small holes or bubbles on the coil. Replace the element, if found defective.


Another reason, why the elements will not start, might be a defective infinite switch (located behind the control panel, with the burner knob on its shaft). Replace the switch if found defective.

***If the elements check out ok and, the Infinite switch(if equipped) is in good condition, you will then need to replace the ERC(electronic range control). it has failed.

Ok, you can confirm element failuer by testing for continuity with a Ohm meter. A burned out heating element will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Replace the element if found defective.

If the elements show continuity, you will need to replace the entire control board(clock, EOC)..

I would imagine that if you only felt the extreme heat in two specific spots on the seat, the element may have burned out and you basically have an open curcuit. According to the wiring scematic, the elements in the back rest and the seat itself are connected so neither work now. I've tried removing the leather from my seats to figure out if I can just replace the elements, but the elements are molded into the foam in the seat. Your only solution may be to replace the entire seat or to buy a ******** seat warmer. Most of these ******** heat warmers are rather cheaply made, though.
