My husband is pretty smart. He said it was the control from the knob to the burner causing the burner to over heat. I watched some YouTube videos on replacing the control board. Then we watched more YouTube videos regarding only one burner over heating, and saw that it may be the "switch" to the actual burner.
I located our stove model number by pulling out the bottom drawer. The sticker was inside the side of the drawer.
Once I found that, we ordered a new switch. Note: The switch to the larger burner is different than the one to the smaller burner. Make sure you order the correct switch per your stove model/make etc.
Amazon had switches as well, but we read the model numbers, and our model was not listed. We purchased our switch from a parts store online.
Cost: $28.89 plus tax and shipping (shipping was $8.88)
Look at the upper right side of that switch. There is a burn mark on it. I now have it replaced, stove burner works great again, and I am thankful for my husband's knowledge and my persistence watching YouTube videos

That could have been a dangerous situation. I am thankful that your husband knew what to do.
Carol, I am very thankful for his knowledge. However, I do think anyone could do this switch change themselves. Just unplug the stove from the wall first, and take a photo of the wires before taking them off. He didn't need a photo, but so glad it works now.
This is brilliant! Thank you so much for posting. I'm guessing this is my problem too and it would be wonderful to fix the problem.
Leigh, you are welcome. I'm so glad my husband does this type of work. I really did not want to buy a new stove right now.
Isn't it nice to have a handy husband? My husband has saved us thousands of dollars in repair bills over the years.
Debi, he has saved us a ton of money on car/truck repairs and most anything really. So glad we can do it ourselves.
