If the element is still dead, remove it and plug it into another burner receptacle of the same size that is working. If the transplanted element still doesn't heat, order a new one and replace it yourself. On a radiant range with a smooth top and ranges with solid disk burner elements, the range might not produce the heat you expect unless you use flat-bottomed cookware. With conventional cookware, sensors built into these elements could prematurely turn off the heat. Partial heat at gas burners.
Many burners have metal caps that can be removed for cleaning.
The same problem can occur if you inadvertently put a small cap on one of the large burners or a large cap on one of the small burners. On some ranges, the caps appear to be the same size at a glance, and you might need to align them with each other to figure out which one goes where. On ranges with removable diffuser cartridges below the caps, also make sure that the cartridges are returned to their original locations after cleaning. If you're new to modern gas ranges, remember that the first position on burner controls is an igniter position where you hear the clicking. You only turn the knob farther once the gas is producing a flame.
