Better repost clarifying what you mean. It sounds as if one top burner
element (1) fails to heat when its unique control is switched on,
(2) heats when the other three controls (for three other burners) are
switched on. This seems dangerous.

NO picture this the control knob is numbered one to TEN,one being low. The

Hi,
Nothing wrong with that. At 1, the current flow is so low, you can
hardly feel the heat.

That is true. The 1 and 2 settings are just for holding a little heat
in an already warm pot. It would take forever to actually raise the
heat on much with that setting but it is great if you are just keeping
dinner warm without burning the bottom of the pan.
These are also far from lab grade instruments and I doubt any of them
are the same at these low numbers.
