Hello Gary, Their is one of two things wrong why your surface burners are not working. 1) the block that the burners plug into it bad...it is very common for the burner block to be worn down and making very poor contact with the burners and thus their is power at the blocks and yet the burners will not work 2) the burners their self are bad
Gene, I followed your advice regarding 220 across the terminals, didn't happen. I checked the voltage coming in again and discovered that one leg was 110v and the other was zero. I tested the voltage across the breaker it read 240. I pulled the breaker tested continuity and it showed good. I tested the wire for ground, in case there was a break, and it showed good. I put everything back and the cooktop works. Last week I replaced the breaker below it and possibly disrupted the connection on the stove top breaker. Will keep you posted if there are any other problems. Thank you for the input, I could not have figured it out without you input.
