Hello Both front burners are out. Anyone have this problem and get it fixed? How much did it cost you? Elements are approx $125.00 Each! The left front dual burner is dead and the right front single burner, the burner LED flickers and goes out when turning knob! Well, time to fix! After removing a few screws and 1st unplugging the stove, the LF element was easy to unclip. Then the bottom clips had to be removed and screwed into the new element. Done The RF single element is 8", I found that this model was made with 2 different series Stainless Steel not counting the other models! In the other series the RF single element burner is 9" just to be confusing! Kitchen Aid Stove Model #s for stainless steel KESK901SSS000 or KESK901SSS002 Anyways, the burner #s for our stove. RF single element (Coils are further apart) 8523696 LF Dual Element (Coils are closer together) see pics 4453909 So replacing the LF dual burner fixed that burner. However replacing the right front burner which was pretty worn did not fix the problem! The fact that the burner light flicked when turning the knobe indicates a poor connection! But where? Pulling the LF element control out and uncliping the wires made the problem quite visible! So I just took the brass cleaning brush I use for pellet stove auger bushings and cleaned the one very corroded spade lug on the back of the burner control! Bingo Put everything back and they all work!

Sometimes water or cleaning solutions get into the infinite switch burner controls and can cause a short. It looks like you got the easier fix. You saved a chunk of change in a service call.
