  There are several reasons why the surface elements on your Marathon Ranges might not be operating: * You may have blown a household fuse or tripped a circuit breaker. * The surface units may not be plugged in all the way. * You may not have set the control knobs correctly. * It is also possible that the surface element needs replacing. If replacing the element does not solve the issue, contact Stirling Marathon.
