Hotpoint RBS360DMWW 5.0 cu ft 30 in Free-Standing Electric Range with Self-Clean Oven MECH-COIL Error Fix: Surface Burner Coil Element Not Heating

One of the coil-type surface burner elements does not heat up or heats unevenly (glows red on only part of the coil) — first try removing the element by pulling it straight out of its receptacle and plugging it back in firmly; the element terminals can corrode or lose their spring tension, causing a poor electrical connection; swap the non-working element with a same-size working element to determine if the problem is the element or the receptacle; if the element works in a different receptacle, the original receptacle block has burned or corroded terminals and needs replacement; the infinite switch (control knob switch) for that burner can also fail — test by swapping the wires to a known-good switch position
