Griddles and long pans are the jobs the bridge element on the NET8669UC was made for. It is an 800 Series radiant electric cooktop at 36 inches, with ceramic glass 37 inches wide and a residual heat indicator for each zone.
People most often report the bridge as failed, since it only heats if both halves are chosen together. A bridge that seems dead is usually a selection sequence the owner has not found, and we check how it is being selected before touching anything else.
More zones also mean more element relays that can fail, and overheated spills can stain the glass. At a visit we select the bridge correctly, test every element and relay, and then explain which behavior is a failure and which is simply how the cooktop operates.
Both halves must be selected together, and the sequence is easy to miss. Follow the manual steps first. If the bridge still stays cold, call us and we will test the element.
Fresh spills often lift with ceramic cooktop cleaner and a scraper while the glass is warm. Stains from long-baked spills may be permanent, and we can assess them.
More zones means more elements and relays, so there are simply more parts that can wear. A failed relay generally affects only one zone, and the rest keep working.
