Could be either, but test the continuity of the heating elements with a multimeter first.

Testimonial: "not sure which terminals to use to check for continuity, wanted to post the picture but do not see the attachment option"

    not sure which terminals to use to check for continuity

    Check them all ways. They will be the ones on the white block. They the top two then the bottom two, then try top left and bottom left, then top right and bottom. The bottom left looks like it might be a common return, in which case it is the negative on that and probe the other three. The sequence there would be inner element, outer element and both elements. The slightly out of focus tag lower down would be grounded earth to the element casing.

    You could also Google 'make model wiring diagram'.

    Picture 137 and 209 are the only one with continuity, wondering if picture 148 is the connection for the small burner

    Yes, it looks like the fault is with the inner element. Replace the burner unit.

Frigidaire stove front large/small burner combination. Large burner works but the small burner in the centre of the large burner does not come on at all with any heat. ??

This is a inner/outer burner type assembly? Sounds like a glass top.
Either way, your switch for that burner or the burner needs to be replaced.
If you are able and it is possible, inter change switches to see if it makes a difference. Interchange Large with large, small with small.
If yous switches are connected as one unit, you will not be able to do this. Sorry, I have not looked up your wiring diagram.

I have a Maytag Glasstop stove (Mer5875qas). THe left front dual burner only heats on the outside ring. The inner portion does not heat. Could it be a wiring problem or is it more likely that the burner...

There are 2 likely causes. It is more likely that the element is open circuited and needs replacing. The hotplate controller could also be faulty. The circuit needs to be tested to determine the faulty part.

My GE profile electric range (model PS905SPSS) has a power boil burner with dual burner elements (one inner circle and one large outer circle). The outer circle one is glowing and heating but the inner...

Disconnect power to range. If you have an ohm meter, you can check the burner coils for continuity from the wires at the switch. If not, open oven door, remove screws holding top. Lift up top and remove screws holding the set of burners in question and visually inspect the inner coil for a break in the burner coil.

Frigidaire ES340 Range One element from Dual element doesn't work

The elements DO BURN OUT. Replace it.

Often you can see evidence of a hot spot on the element where the final failure occured, but not always.

Dual element burner on glasstop range...inner element stays on

It is the burner control (behind the knob). The triac in the control has failed. $50 item, 10 minute change. Just make note which wire goes to which terminal.

I doubt that it is the control board, as the board has little to do with the stove top, but rather controls the display and the oven temperature/feedback monitoring.

Hope this helps.

its been my experience that the dual burner switch is far more likely the culprit, unless you can physiclaly see the outer ring is broken( visual inspection works wonders. as far as trying to ohm out i generally look at theelemnet itself (4 wires lead to the elemnt you can trace 1 to the outer portion of element, and 1 to the inner portion.WITH POWER OFF Iswithc those 2 wires and the restore power try element ad watch for outer ring to work inner ring no good. now i know its the switch not sending power. reset wires and order new switch
