Oh i understand now. Where do i put the black lead ? I assume 1 and 3 ?

[Budget Appliance Repair]

L1 = #2 (common to both ribbon elements)
L2 = #1 & #3 (I believe #1 is the outer ring which isn't working and #3 is the inner ring that is working)

Put one meter lead on #2 and the other is placed on #1 or #3 and you should get a reading of 240 volts if the switch is working correctly and set to the correct position.

If either #1 or #3 doesn't give you a volt reading of 240 then the switch is bad or you don't have it set to the correct position for both ribbons to be on.

If you do get a reading of 240 volts from both #1 and #3 then for sure the element is bad.

I got the 240v on the pins and i have installed the new burner. It still does not lite up either. I am not sure what is going on. I will give you ohm reading once it cools down. The inside rings light up. Just curious is there a model that does not light up the outer rings.

Okay i figured it out. It was me this time . I turned off the dual burner part to test the old part. I flipped it back on and it works. Thanks again everyone. I am putting up beer money.

That's alright, amigo-- it was a fun romp and we got to see some purdy pitchers of the elements all aglow and atwitter. And we all learned a thing or two.

Curious i was trying to set the clock on the stove and now it says SAB ? on the digital display and shutting off power via the breaker and leaving it off did not fix it. I know i held the clock button in.

[mmoore5553]

Okay i fixed it by just holding the clock button in again.

SAB = Sabath ..
Ovens usualy have that option so that you can't cook on that religious day
