The main problem of all cooktops - is the surface element. With time it could be damaged and the coil surface element doesn’t heat. Don’t need to panic. You can fix this problem. Easiest thing to do - replace the coil surface element. In this article you will find a simple step-by-step guide on how to replace coil surface element Dacor RGC365SNG.
- Shutting off the electricity. Electric ranges typically have 2 house fuses or a double breaker, one for each 120-volt leg of the 240-volt power. To prevent electrical shock and damage to the control board, remove both fuses or shut off both breakers (if a clip connects the double breakers, shutting off one should shut off both).
- Removing the existing coil element. The prongs of the coil element are pushed into the terminal block receptacle that's under the cooktop. Tilt the coil element up slightly and then pull it straight out of the receptacle.
- Pushing the new coil element into place. Position the new coil surface element in front of the receptacle and push it in until it properly seats in the receptacle. Press the new element down on top of the drip pan.
- Restoring the electricity. Turn on the electric power to the range.
Fixed! Make some tests. If this doesn't work, there could be a defective part that requires a replacement, and you may need to consult a professional.
