My wife bought a glass top electric range 8-10 years ago. One burner you can run the entire coil or just the center. It started not turn off when it gets up to heat. You put it on simmer and it is all the way up. I take it that it is a thermostat not working. Can you get a new thermostat, a new single coil with a new thermostat, or do you have to replace the entire top.

Id haul it to the dump and get a gas range.

I would try DEY appliance and see if they have parts for your stove.

Don't drop an iron skillet on it like my wife did.

Goodness that thing shattered like a plate glass window.

x2 never seen one that would control heat

That would work if I had natural gas. I could get a propane stove now that I have a propane furnace. But I hate using 1500 gallons of propane a year.
Thanks uplandpointer
Swamp if you drop a cast iron skillet on someone head that could be bad too.

That's same thing I told the wife!

Keep that in mind you know she knows how to drop one.

We have a metal top now....

And I'm careful about my noggin too.

Good advice right there .

You got your money out of it...

It's time to have a real stove..(Gas)

My 100 gallon tank..for the stove only...lasts me 2 years.

And we cook ..bake ..a lot..

Then you can cook with the best cookware out there...CAST IRON

I have a glass top stove too.the front burner on the right side quit working a couple weeks ago.i googled it and you can take the top off and replace the coil itself.mine is a whirlpool Google your make and model with serial number should be some videos that will show/tell you what you need too do good luck.

Those glass top electrics are the only gas stoves that control heat anything close to as well as a gas range. They respond immediately like a gas range does but the gas ranges work w/o power and don't have the fragile top.

I would think the controller is suspect. Same control knob adjusts heat for both inside and outside burner.

I have a glass top and evidently my wife is quite as clumsy as some others.

1994 gas range here. Never go back.

There is a infinite switch in the knob switch. I found a short you tube video. You can replace the elements on a glass top individually. I have done one before. Find a good appliance shop, they will have burners and should be able to get switches or order online. Dakota tv and appliance in grand forks is good to order parts from if you don't have one nearby. stove repair

Finally got the link to work

it does take some wiggle and jiggle but the tops come off and the single elements can be replaced.

mice are the worst for nipping the wires inside......trying to taste the last spill.

mom's glass top is junk. She doesn't cook so just assumed it was here the one or two times she turned it on in the last 3 years. I have been cooking breakfast the last few weeks and it's the stove not her. thing takes forever to heat up, turns itself off during cooking ect. Fast solution was inbox the electronic skillet that's been in the closet for a few years. It's an improvement because it works but just not my lp stove and cast iron at home.

ereplacementparts.com. has parts for everything under the sun

All we cook with is cast iron other then soup pots and cake / pie pans. There is eight cast iron fry pans in the kitchen. I just counted.
