One small front furner on my Whirlppol electric stovetop doesn;t heat. Can it be fixed?

Need more in fo-gas or electric: If electric,I have seen problem in electrical box over time the screws where wires are connected over heat and get loose or break check both ends and disconnected electrical cord before doing this.Check all wires.

The two leads from the burner fit into a socket in the stove top. It's a bit tricky to get it in just right. If the three metal "legs" on the burner fit snugly into the three slots on the stovetop you did it right.

Buy a new stove element. If you open the stove look in the back. It should be black. It might have a crack or be clearly broken. This is a cheap fix. If you want to be sure that it is working at the connection unplug the element and pull it out. Put a volt meter into the prongs. Turn stove on and see if its putting out voltage.

Never seen one the hole is cut to size of the top so in most cases you go like for like .

Electric gas igniters sometimes get stuck in one position causing a clicking sound. The clicking sound that you hear is the electric arc that is pulsing from the igniter conductor (wire) to ground (the gas burner). It receives power from the electrical outlet that the stove is plugged into.
Residue from food and sometimes cleaning products may be preventing the igniter from producing a spark (Arc) to the base of the burner. This is a common problem that occurs when the stove has been cleaned or food is allowed to build up. Make sure that the igniter and the burner base are clean and dry. This will help with proper operation. Oven cleaner and a small tooth brush may be used to accomplish this. Another problem with ignition may occur if you have too little (touching) or too much space between the igniter and the base of the burner; it will prevent the burner from igniting. You should only have a little more space than the thickness of a nickel between the burner base and the igniter. A good “blue” arc from the igniter to the burner base is optimal. If this doesn’t work, you may need to replace the electric igniter module. Good luck.

Replace the switch and the burner. You probably have a loose wire ... it is just a little more work and safer to replace both the switch and burner.

yes that's normal only the power source coming in needa #8 then its distributed to all other burners so the stove does not need heavier thanks the appliance doc

Can you provide specific model number information ? That would help me to help you...

You probably still have cartridge fuses in your fusebox. This sounds like only one blew. This will let the lights and other 110 volt things work just fine. If you have circuit breakers it probably needs to be replaced. There are no internal fuses that involve the whole stove.
