I have a (Simpson Mercury) electric stove – and 2 of the 4 elements do not work properly. They heat up, but it is not possible to set the appropriate temperature for them – they are either on or off.
Does anyone know if I need to simply replace the elements or if there is a thermostat which needs to be replaced ?

All electric stoves have thermostats that control the heat to the burners. If the burner doesn't cycle on and off when set to 3 or 4 to control the heat then the thermostat is not working properly.
