I replaced 4 electrical burners for a friend, two small and two large ones.
The small ones stopped working.
Checked the resistance which showed about 50 ohms.
Those burners worked in another stove.
What can I check next ?
Thanks, Andy

The sockets?
Or fuses?
Not fuses since 2 other burners work.
Andy
Except each burner is separsately fused on most stoves. Fuse in the stove, not in the fuse/breaker panel.
Stove is about 20 yrs old.
Did they have fuses ?
And if so, where are they located ?
Andy
New one to me. Where are the fuses, usually? Back panel?
Sounds totally useful to know.
Our last electric stove had them under the top of the back panel.. I just checked the manual on our new Frigidaire smooth-top convection and it does not have separate fuses.
Thanks a bunch. I get called out now and again to do appliance repair. Often "oh, yes!" jobs. Will file that off, in the olding balding brain box.
If you don't know what to check you should keep your paws off of it.

I'd be curious if the sockets are supplying 220 VAC.
Oren posted for all of us...
+1 on that! Something is bleeped up.
Voltage is 120 Volts.
Andy
Most electric stoves use 220 VAC. You may have an open connection some where.
