- In this video I show you how to troubleshoot a 6" simmer select burner element on a Frigidaire / Kenmore Electric Stove. If your top burner is not working, this repair tutorial will guide you through the steps on how to fix the element that is not heating up.
I cover the control board, the switch and the burner. Below is a video on a regular 6" burner.
This will show you how to remove and replace it.

The simmer select light on my stove won’t turn off. I’d appreciate any suggestions from the community. If the fix is technical, I may just have to live with it.
My select summer it’s on the power element front left I replace the board and now nothings working just on the power element But when I press semi select the light comes on going to try and replace the switch but it is getting continuity
4 burner are not working.
Can I by pass simmer select ?
Does this board contain a transformer? Looks like two relays. Is that correct?
I would like to show me how to use the glass burner with a sensitive temperature.
Very informative Bill, thanks!
what the model number of the range and part number of the board you were working on?
can you just completely bypass the simmer select board and functionality?
Yes, I did bypassed ours recently after seeing your comment a couple of weeks ago. We have a Frigidaire/Kenmore with a Simmer Select burner that suddenly died, and I found Bill's video when I was trying to figure out if I could fix it. If you look at minute 4:19, showing the board that controls Simmer Select, n Bill's excellent video, you pull off the connector that goes onto P2, P3, and P4 on the right side of the board. On our range, P2 and P3 are the element wires in and out, so I simply created a jumper that connects these two pins on the connector (which has been pulled off for clarity in the video) using push connections and compatible wire. I also pulled off the other connector on the left side of the board, and taped on a note explaining that the simmer select board was dead and that my changes bypassed it. The Simmer Select function is gone (not that we ever used it), and otherwise the range works perfectly. A few cents in parts instead of $500+ for a new range.
If anyone else does this, be sure to trace the wires to make sure your oven is wired the same as this one. All of the wire colors in ours were different, the burner size was different, but the board itself looked exactly the same. Many, many thanks to Bill and his excellent video, and in particular the circuit diagrams and the clear explanations. Couldn't have done it without it, for sure.
good info Bill, thank you...
Excellent explanation, thanks
Bill I have a Kenmore glass cook top stove 9641340E the simmer select burner is the large burner on the front left. one day I pressed the simmer select button and heard a loud pop and now the burner doesn't work at all do you think the switch is bad or the burner
Just happened to me.Found exploded capacitor on lock out board
Bill is no longer with us but we can help each other. I'm grateful for his videos he left for us. This happened to me also but I was wiping the knob and thought water got into the knob and shorted it out. I replaced my burner and the simmer select works but not the whole burner. Replacing the switch next.
Update; I discovered the little plastic red button that glows to tell you the burner is on broke. The switch behind it made contact with the metal on the stove. The spade connector melted and I'll replace it. This is the switch with 250V.
Great video, Bill, but I have a question. On my stove, the burner that has simmer select is a 9" burner. The continuity test on the burner reads about 18 ohms versus the 46 ohms you show in this video for the 6" burner. Does that sound about right? At least it's not an open (i.e. a total lack of continuity). The power to the switch test is OK (less than 1 ohm resistance). With the switch in to off position, there is a short (
dr dave - did you ever get an answer or solve your problem? I'm having the same issue with my 9" simmer burner. I have a 40+ ohm reading on the burner so it seems ok. Can't find anything obvious (e.g. burn marks) on the simmer select board or the switch. Hate to just guess and order the wrong part. looking for tips on how to isolate the problem. BTW - I did put a volt meter across the P2/P3 and P2/P4 lugs of the simmer board and got no reading (stove was plugged in but burner switch was off). Thought I should have seen voltage across one of those connections but not sure I'm testing it correctly.
I’m having the same problem mine is on the left front power element and works when on simmer select is on but doesn’t work when off so no power element? I get the 120w but not 240w
Now I’m not getting anything on that burner
Great video
Good one !!
Thanks again for the great videos.
+Pops McCartney Your very welcome. I'll be doing one on the warmer zone burner next, then after that if there's anything you want to know about this stove let me know.
