Electric Burner Stuck on High? Turn It Off Safely
Remove heat safely
Turn the control to off. If the element stays hot or cycles back on, switch the appliance off at the household breaker when safe. Keep cookware and combustible items away and do not touch the element.
Regulation components can fail closed
An infinite switch, relay, sensor or electronic control can continue sending power. Diagnosis confirms the command and output before a part is replaced.
Do not postpone this repair
Leave the appliance off until serviced. Share the model number and whether the burner responds at any setting.
