I just replaced the top burner on my electric stove and it keeps coming on and off faster than the others

I had a problem where the unit stop coming on its an 8" burner. When the replacement came i noticed the element was the same but the long glass piece that goes down the center was shorter. Now it works but it goes on and off real fast and at the lower selections it hardly works. Any Ideas?

    You will need to replace the "infinite switch" for the burner. Here is the part to order.http://bit.ly/T72Lzv

SOURCE: kenmore glass top range left front large burner out

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.

How to choose a kettle?

How to choose a kettle.There are two main types of kettles, non-electric stove-top and electric models. While the stove-top is the most basic and economical, it takes longer to boil water in this type of kettle. They're versatile though and can be used on a camping or RV stove. On the other hand, because electric kettles bring water to a boiling point faster, they're more energy efficient than the stove-top variety and considered safer to handle. You can also operate an electric kettle away from the cooking range and that means more burners available for cooking a meal.

My electric stove top burner only works on high

This is for the glass top units. well i'm not sure if your problem is with your large or small single burner or the large expandable burner. If it's the large or small single burner replace the burner and if it the expandable also replace the burner. If you have a coil burner replace the infinite switch. Good luck hope this helps you.

GE profile glass stove top

You got one or more of the burner switches wet. (It usually happens when you wash the knobs and water stays in the holes until you replace it on the shaft) If just water they may work after a day or two. try using a hair dryer, Keep it at least 12 inches away. If oven cleaner or other chemical got inside switches they may need to be replaced. If you can't dry them out. Disconnect the wires from all but one switch at a time and see which one/s need to be replaced. Sometimes the electric part of the switch can be seperated from the gas part and replaced seperately. DO NOT LEAVE THE STOVE PLUGGED IN until you fix this problem. There have been reports of fires started from this electrical problem. You could also burn out the spark ignightor. The fire problems have been mostly with Maytag/Jenn air products but my whirlpool blew a fuse and shot sparks when this happened to me. I just replacet the whole cooktop as my gas valves were one piece units and way to expensive to repair.
