Inspection and access
I checked the small and large settings on the front-right cooking zone. The complaint was specific to the small setting, rather than the entire cooktop losing power.
Repair and reassembly
I lifted the glass cooktop to reach the radiant elements underneath, removed the front-right element and fitted the replacement. The photos show the element assembly outside the range and the cooktop raised during the work.
After reassembly, I checked the burner settings. The photos show the repaired front-right zone glowing, as well as the other cooking zones switched on.
