: I have a Roper Electric Range...4 burners. The
: largest burner (front right) will heat up
: sometimes and sometimes not. I always push
: the burner in before turning it on.
I assume you mean push the knob?
: Sometimes this works and sometimes not.
: About 6 months ago I had a service man
: replace the wiring for this burner (lift up
: stove top to get to it). Still having the
: problem. Also, before calling out the
: service man, I replaced the burner thinking
: it may be worn out or defective.
: Any ideas as to how to get this burner to work
: every time?
Someone would have to determine the cause then correct it. It may be caused by a bad socket the element plugs into as described at the page linked below. Just replacing the element wouldn't correct that. If the original element had the telltale signs, that would be a place to start.
Failing that, the problem could be in the wiring to the switch or the switch itself. Each would have to be discounted, one at a time. Whatever is left is likely the culprit.
