An element that only works flat out is the classic sign of a failed infinite switch rather than a failed element. The switch cycles the element on and off to hold a setting, and when its contacts weld it stays on.
Owners can safely check that the element is seated and that the cooktop is clean. Anything inside the control panel or behind the rear panel means isolating the range at the breaker, and element and switch replacement is technician work on a mains-voltage appliance.
