My old Whirlpool electric freestanding range, convection cooking ceramic glass cooktop, has 4 heating elements and 2 red lights to indicate whether the heating elements are hot.
One of the 4 heating elements is not heating, the other 3 heating elements are heating and the red lights turned on properly.
When I turned the control knob of the defective top right heating element to "on", it did not heat at all and the wrong left red light was turned on.
When I turned the control knob of the defective top right heating element to "off", the wrong left red light can be turned off.
The Whirlpool model # is WERP4101SB3 or WERP4101SS1 or WERP4101SQ3 with the W10116302A Tech Sheet.
What is the root cause?
Is it the control board?
How to fix it?
