Igor K Fair Lawn , NJ April 26, 2016 Appliance: General Electric Electric Range PP972SM1SS One burner stopped working due to short circuited control the seal over time started to allow the liquids to go down the control shaft causing the short Disconnected ( already tripped) breaker in the panel. Lifted cooked top unscrewed the glass top and set aside. I took the picture of the wires connected to the control on my ipad and replaced broken control. reconnected the wires as per picture. Cleaned the greased glass top and replaced the infinite switch seal for the broken control. Then reinstall glass top back on the cooktop and put the cooktop back in in place. Enable breaker in the panel and now i have good working cooktop again.

Walter K Myrtle Beach , SC November 09, 2019 Main burner would only get about 50% of max and surface hot light would not shut off Replaced the infinite switch, but light still did not go off, did not try burner. Then I replaced the element, found the old one had several cracks. With a new burner and switch, everything is back to like-new condition. Very straight forward as explain by your video. The hardest part was the two clips that hold the element. There are little holes around the burner and the clips have to grab these holes. This was not presented in your video. All in all an easy job but be prepared for a skinned knuckle, guy in the video had several along with some scratches. Lots of metal edges under there. Read More...
