Steps:

1. To be safe, disconnect the power at the breaker. This avoids electrical injury when working with the oven.

2. Unplug the oven from the receptacle to be safe.
3. Move it to an open area so there is enough space to work with.

4. Unscrew the back panel of the stove. Depending on your model, the cover may be located on the top or bottom.
5. Use a square head screwdriver.
6. If the screws are tight, use pliers to remove them.

7. Set the multimeter to ohms. Otherwise, you may generate a short circuit if you do not have the correct setting.

8. You must disconnect the wires to prevent electrical issues from occurring.
9. Remember where the original wires were placed. It's good to take a photo before doing so.

10. Find the terminals on the switch. These can look different depending on whether your burner is a standard or a dual burner. Each terminal should be labeled.
11. In this case, the L1 to H1 and L2 to H2 terminals will be checked. (L=line, H=heat). Black goes on L and Red goes on H. The position may differ depending on your switch. Read the label on your switch.
12. After finding the terminals, turn the heat dial to “HI”.

13. Check the switch for the L1 to H1 terminals

14. Check the switch for the L2 to H2 terminals.

15. If the multimeter does not read between 0 and 1, the switch has no durability and must be replaced.

16. If you have a dual burner, test both sets of terminals for durability.
17. You may have other power models, but the process remains the same. If there is no connectivity, it has to be replaced.

18. Once the switch is confirmed to be faulty, pull the heat dial out and remove the screws that are holding the switch in place.

19. Once the heat dial is removed, remove the old switch and replace with the new switch.
20. After the switch, connect the new switch to the heat dial.

21. Reconnect any remaining parts that were removed earlier.
