stove coils
Posted On: September 11, 2023

do these coils look like they need replaced or are in good working order? I recently had a coil break while cooking and send electric fire shooting 3-4 ft across my kitchen, burned a hole right through a thick steel pot, which I'm lucky was there otherwise I expect my ceiling and anything above my stove would have taken the flames instead. attached are all 4 burners when on high.


Question from user perplexingclarity8 at Appliances at reddit.com.


Answer:

Oh gawd. Don't turn on a heating element without giving it a load. That is the quickest way to overheat it and burn it up. The best way to test a heating element is with a Volt meter. You could do an amp draw, or read resistances compared to the factory spec. These are things a service tech would do. Just remember, there are millions of these type elements in the world and they don't usually explode like this. Just take a close look at them when they're off and cold. Look for small, white cracks that expel a powdery material. Good luck.
