When an electric stove switch or terminal connection gets hot to the touch but the burner element itself fails to heat up, the malfunction is typically caused by a loose wiring spade connection, severe corrosion at the terminal block, or a failing infinite switch that creates high electrical resistance without transmitting full voltage to the element. You can troubleshoot electrical connections safely using a digital multimeter. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when inspecting the wiring harness, cleaning oxidized terminal contacts, or replacing a burnt infinite switch and terminal block restores proper 240-volt power flow to the burner element.
