Antone come across this before? One of the small elemets wont turn on when
dial is turned on 1 but needs to be put on three before heating

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.
