Electric Stove repair ?

I've used Crowne a few times. They do good work and are reliable.

In past years I have replaced burners on stoves many times. I do not know what the configuration of your stove is but the burners I replaced were very simple plug ins.

If that is your situation and there is another burner the same size just swap them to make sure it is the burner, not the switch. With the model number burners are easy to buy.

Two weeks ago I replaced the heating element in the oven in a rental apartment. Two screws, two wires. This is not rocket science, it's very simple.

If the other burners are working, it just might be the burner, nothing else. You could pull-out the other same size-burner, first, place into "bad burner" slot, and see if it works to confirm it's the burner. Bring burnt-out/broken burner to Lowes/Home Depot with you, match what is on the shelf, and replace.

My stove is 'glass top' type.....

Is that easy to remove ?

Didn't realize it was glass top, but the repair concept is the same. Not quite as simple as pulling off the element of a non-glass stove..

Here's a youtube flick showing replacing a glass top type. Still easy, but more steps, and caution for the glass top.
