The right front burner which is a dual burner, has stopped working after only 3 years (both inner and outer coil). This is a flat glass 30 in. cooktop. I have 2 questions--

1. How do I determine if its the burner itself, the switch, or some other part? When I turn the switch on, there is an audible noise, just as there is when I turn the other burners on, AND the indicator light comes on. I am handy and have electrical test equipment and can test something if someone can point me to the possible culprit.

2. To replace the defective part, I'm assuming I need to remove the cooktop from the countertop? It is sealed in with the silicon...under the glass lip...any suggestions on removing this without breaking the glass? Thanks for any help!!
