Stove Notes for This Area
The plain freestanding stove still serves a large share of kitchens here. In the brick ramblers and split-levels of Franconia, Bren Mar and Rose Hill it is often gas, pushed against an outside wall with a flexible connector behind it. In Kingstowne townhouses and the garden apartments and condos around Lincolnia, electric stoves dominate, either with coil burners or a smooth glass top, powered from a 240-volt outlet behind the unit.
Testing a stove one burner at a time
We check each burner separately before drawing conclusions about the whole stove. For a gas burner that stays dark, the cap is reseated and the ports picked clean before its spark is checked; if every igniter is silent, the spark module and the switches behind the knobs are tested next. On coil-burner electric stoves, we move the suspect coil to a known good socket to see whether the coil or the socket and its infinite switch has failed, and we look for scorched terminals in the receptacle. Smooth-top surface elements are tested for continuity along with their limiters and switches. If the oven below misbehaves too, its circuit is tested separately.
Gas connectors and apartment stoves
When a gas stove in an older Franconia kitchen is pulled forward, we check the connector and shutoff behind it and the anti-tip bracket on the floor or wall. In rental apartments around Lincolnia, the stove usually belongs to the landlord, so send a request to the property manager first and let us know who approves repairs.

Still have a question?
Get in touch with the brand, the symptom and, if you can find it, the model number. Some things we can answer right away; others need a technician in front of the machine.
The infinite switch for that burner has probably failed with its contacts stuck closed, so the coil receives full power regardless of the knob. A burned receptacle can also cause erratic heating. We test the switch and the receptacle and replace the faulty part.
