Thanks, this worked brilliantly, who knew you could take a switch apart and clean the points to get a glass top element turning down again, brilliant, thanks so much.
Hi Bill, Thank you for the video. I have a Kenmore mod.790 and it's exactly like the one you showed, saved me time and money on this project and I also learned something new.
Thank you for this very straightforward video! The visual quality is excellent and the audio very clear and understandable.

Thanks man! Completely thanks to you I figured out my switch was bad and ordered a new one for $30. Hopefully reinstallation goes smoothly. Thanks again.
Thanks a bunch. On the switch and element testing, I got a clear picture how to ID the part to be replaced. Really a good video. Sorry to learn that you passed away. RIP.
Oh my gosh!!! My element won't turn off and it was beginning to melt my refrigerator! I hurried and carefully pulled the stove out and unplugged it!!! I watched another video and was very fast - did not fully understand it! So I found you and genuinely appreciate your pace, knowledge, ability to articulate the whys behind the whats!!! Now I feel ready! More to come!
Rest in heaven Bill Newberry
What happened?
@@coolramone I'm not sure he passed a few years back.
Rip, thank you for the help from the great beyond. 😭
Awsome and helpful video
Great video
My friend got a quote of $90 to diagnose 1st appliance, $40 for second appliance. PLUS parts PLUS labor.
I think I can fix it for her thanks to this video and another on a fridge. Thank you!!
Always informative videos, thanks Bill

This is great information to know for a homeowner, Thank you
Very clear; I found the problem right away. Thanks !
Excellent explanation, I fix my stove . Thank you so much
Thank you for very clear instructions. It was very helpful.
Really good video, thanks Bill.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.
Thanks. very well explained for average joe
A Very helpful DOY video.
Thank you for the video! Your video was very informative and just what we needed to figure out why a burner wasn't working.
Great illustrations, thank you very much!
Thanks Bill , very good explanation
very informative video. I will take a crack at my range top tomorrow. Once I did open it up, but the wires were simply too short. It's a samsung range . but this time around, I will follow your method.
Great job Bill !!! Awesome !!
very helpful and straight forward. thanks a lot.
Thank you for teaching video. Great Video.
Awesome video with great information and details in it!
Very helpful & informative... 👍
Followed your excellent video and fixed it. Thanks! :-D
Bill, you rock!
Thanks for the video, it was very informative.
Awesome vid. Thanks!!
Very informative Thank you
Great video and you carry yourself very professional and approachable. This is your trade and your livelihood and yet you are showing us how to do it ourself. Thank you for the help. I appreciate you, we need more considerate people like you in this world.
Sadly, Bill Newberry died on October 24, 2016.
@@returnofthemac8179 Sorry to hear. Did you know him personally?
@@aafunmedia No. I wondered why he hadn't posted any videos for a.few years after posting prolifically, and I happened to read someone else's comment that used "RIP" in it, so I thought that perhaps he had passed away. Sure enough, when I looked into it, I found his obituary. It was definitely him. It mentioned that he was a self-employed appliance repair man and electrician who also had his own TH-cam channel. He was only 38, and died at a hospital, so I wonder what happened to him?
well done, thanks :) very informative
Great info! I think electric stoves are crap and gas is the way to go unfortunately that's not a choice we all can control. I had a burner that stopped working, this before finding your video. I opened the the burner top and looked at the non working burner and right off the bat I noticed a wire had separated from the crimp connector! I restored that connection and my burner now works! With this video instruction, I would have read open on the meter when checking the element! Thanks for the simplicity of this video I will recommend it to anyone that needs to troubleshoot an electric range. Thanks again!
thanks som much man im from Deming N.M
Thanks. Very helpful
Very nice. Thank you.
Thanks for still teaching us stuff, RIP.

Great job on this video.
Gracias. You are a good teacher. Now I know how to fix my cooktop.🙏👍
Oops, I read in another comment that you passed away. Can anyone confirm?
Excellent!
Bill newberry passed away? I’m very sorry to hear that. This is a very helpful video for me. Thanks Bill!
Such a great video. Good man
Omg ! This is a fantastic video !
very good video bill
Awesome, thank you so much.
Thanks for sharing .
Thanks for your time!!
Thanks for this excellent video. As for Samsung ranges, they are garbage, it seems. With mine I had switches going faulty one after the other just after the first year. When I decided to replace the switches after they are all consumed, I was surprised to see that the 4 switches cost almost half the price of a new range. This time I'm thinking of buying one with solid state control and not mechanical parts and definitely NOT Samsung. Thanks.
great lesson for myself , explained in layman terms thank you. only thing I is there would be no ohms if limit is open.Thanks
Hi Bill, thank you for this very informative video.
I have a JER8855AAS. I just replaced a new burner [checked: 46.8 Ohm], however when I checked H1-H2 there is no connectivity.
Could you please advise how I can trace its connection further?
Once again thank you for your kind help!
You are awesome!
Thanks!
Thanks man.
Thanks Bill...
thanks so much!!!!!
Now I know what to expect with this burner issue. The view of the schematics pointed to the overheat switch as the culprit.
Awesome video,are the burners interchangeable on flat top stoves?
Thanks Bill very helpful. I have a question I have a newer GE profile 5 burner smooth top and just the right side and center warmer is out. What do you do when a whole side goes out?
Very good video...
Besides the control knob for the burner and a reading in the multimeter of infinite resistance (broken filament in the burner)...I can also see a third problem...
What if the normally closed contact at the burner...start to open too often???...that I believe will be a hard issue to detect. If your burner turn on...but start to go on/off more often that they should...after ruling out the other two issues (as you explain here using the multimeter)...then the problem might be the burner switch ...opening the normally closed switch too often...I reader wrote something that this switch should not pop open until 1000 degrees...Hence the on and off of a burner at a given setting should only be through the control knob...is this is correct?
What do you think?
Thanks!!!!
God bless u
.
That's actually an Open (OL) reading on the ohmmeter when you connected the leads to the switch, not a "Zero" reading as you said. A Zero reading would indicate continuity which is not what you want with the switch open.
Great video. I have this EXACT stove. When I went to troubleshoot, neither the burner or the switch showed any ohms. Both were zero. If the burner is bad, would the switch show ohms?
Hello Bill I used the procedure for my Frigidaire electric range, only right hand side burner is not working. Both the burner and switch are tested for continuity and both are functional. what else could be the problem for burner not heating up? indicator light is on though? thanks for your help
Is there a specific tester to by or any cheap one will do?
I have this exact stove.
hi thanx for the info, my oven went out and than my stove top burners went out can it be the main switch ?
does the temperature sensor goes bad, i checked infinity switch is good ,when i turn on i can't adjust temperature stays on high only time
Hi,I have question regarding wiring on limiter heat indicator ,if L1 line (120 v )connected to 1 b and N neutral line connected to 2 b ,will it shorted it ? Or the indicator heat light up when temp reach its certain temp to closed its switch so that light will go on -
I have a GE slide in with the switches on a panel below the cooktop and above the oven. How do I access the switches?
Hi Bill, what if you're not getting any continuity through the burner or the switch?
Can you make a video to trouble shoot main circuit board. Maybe diagnosing one that has failed. Thanks.
Great video Bill, thanks! Do you happen to know anything about another type of infinite switch found on units like a jenn-Air? My range top has an almost identical top. Mine is a slide in (drop in??) but the infinite switch for the front right unit has a much different style of connector and is called a "Custom Control" switch?
Any help is appreciated.
Good job
Before you do the job
Take a picture with
Your. PHONE
Thanks for the very informative video. If I have no temperature control on the burner, do I need to replace the switch? I can turn the element on, but it goes to max and stays there regardless of the setting on the knob. Thanks!
I would say your burner switch is bad or seriously out of adjustment. Some are adjustable. Tiny flat head set screw down the shaft where the knobs connects. Was the burner previously working fine, then stopped working? Or has it always been like this?
Thanks Bill. I'll check for a set screw. The problem started happening intermittently with increasing frequency on two of my burners; now the two burners are permanently afflicted and will only go on high and stay there. If there isn't a set screw, then I should just replace the switches?
Hi Bill. I ordered new regulators and installed them thanks to your video; now everything works great. You mentioned a set screw, in the back of the regulators (stove model Samsung FE-R500WW regulator part number DG44-01002A) there is a small Allen key. I wasn't able to find any instructions for the regulator. Do you know what that Allen key does? Thanks again! Now I can cook without turning the burner on and off constantly.
Steven Gray
Steven Gray broiler will not work
If your front left burner gets crazy hot and won’t turn off is it definitely that switch or could the switch from the front right burner cause a problem with the front left burner?
Ge range oven hot surface light on and one burner not working , I check switch and burner good
Say all burners don’t seem to work all at once, yet I can still get a hot surface light. Surely all 4 switches couldn’t have just went out together right? Is there some sort of primary switch that all 4 other switches must go through to get power? Mine is a glass top whirlpool as well.
hi, bill
i have touch pad LG range would you please show me how to test or replace the switch?
Hi i have whirlpool wfe320moes smooth top electric range. One of the burner shuts off 5 seconds after i turn it on. Rest are working. Any idea what it could be? Plz help thank you.
bill is that stuff under the glass top is that fiber glass or asbestos, do you know? thanks
There's one burner on my stove that after I turn it on I'll eventually (3 to 6 seconds after the burner lights up) hear static around where the switch is and it will shut off. I replaced the switch and it still does it. Any advice? I don't have a meter to check the readings.
My Ceramic top two front banners go up and down in heat do you know y ?
Whirlpool range. Turn on any burner and it immediatly goes to high and stays there. No control. And it is any burner. They all do it. Is is it possible that all control switches are bad? Since they are daisy chained could one be controling all? Oven works fine. Please answer. Thanks.
Is it possible that a control board issue lead to one burner not receive power? I have a whirlpool range, changed switch and element, check some cables and seem to be fine but all other elements get power but not this one (bigger one on the front right)
Can you switch a regular coil burning stove over to a glass top burning
Hi I tried to test resistance between L1 and L2 to test the switch and did the test for Buber that was mentioned both show 37 ohms for Samsung single 6” burner but the burner is not working so you know what else might be wrong and this is the only one that is not working other3 burners are working
One of my larger burners heats on high no matter how low you set it...what do I do
Hi i just tested my burner and infinite switch. They tested ok as per your video but my burner still does not work. Is there anything else that I could test to isolate the problem? Thx
Is there a way to force the burner to shut off while waiting for the repair part?
dear bill I have same glass top stove the whirlpool when I am cooking in the middle of it it turns off and I can't get it to turn on I unplug it and plug it back and the letters pf appear then like two or three hours later it's working again but if I cook it happens all over again what can I do
Nice video, subscribed.
I do have a question that does not center around electric burners. I have a gas stove; if you use two burners the output is fine, if you use all four burners there is a reduction in out put. The unit is an Acubake Duo by Whirlpool. It had one issue that I dealt with in the oven where the gas rail needed a modified rail with more holes in it for start up. That worked fine. But the reduction in output when using all burners in new to me and I have not found much on the internet to explain it. No kinked gas lines and they are the proper size. Any ideas would be great, Thanks!
Curiosity Is it converted to propane?
Bill Newberry Well it's coming off of a city gas line, not sure how to tell if the stove might have been delivered incorrectly in the past? Not sure how to tell if it might have been setup for propane accidentally.
