If it is German, they use 380 V 3 phase power in their stoves. The four wires should be 3 phases and safety earth (no neutral).
The burners are powered phase to phase. If the unit is intended for European domestic use, you will need 3 phase power to make it
work, as each element requires 400 V to function.

1. I don't think it's a bad coil, since all 4 burners behave the same
way.

2. It's true than 400v is standard for modern kitchens here, but most
older buildings don't have it, and hence most stoves can also be wired
for 230v single phase. In my case, both the parts are wired for 230v,
so it's not that.
