Side Burner

When I cleaned the under side of my stove last night there was a buzzing noise when I turned on burner?

and the burners seemed to be hotter than ever, there was also some sparks under one of the burners.

Unplug the stove or flip the breaker. Remove the offending burners. Inspect burner receptacles for obvious damage. Inspect burners for black or burnt marks on the contact points. Anything obviously need replaced yet? If not, make sure your burners are plugged in all the way, turn your stove back on, turn off the lights and observe any "sparking." Swap burners with another socket. If it still arcs, replace the socket. If it don't replace the burner. Parts are available from most appliance stores that also offer service. Locate the model number and tell em what you want. The socket isnt as hard as it might sound. With the power off remove the socket from its retaining clip. Clip the two wires leading to the socket. Strip the wires about 1/2 in. Wire nut the two leads of the replacement socket to the wires you just clipped. Tape up your connections for added strength. Hope this helps.
