In this example, add the balances to get a total balance of $1,175,000. Divide each loan balance by the total balance to determine the weight of each loan. In this example, divide $300,000 by $1,175,000 to get a weight of 0.255 for the first loan.
Replacing a bad burner element. 1  If the problem is the plug-in element, raise it up slightly and pull it straight out. 2  Check the contacts of the element prongs for cleanliness and damage. If they are clean and undamaged, reinsert the element and turn it on to test it. 3  If the element is wired directly, you will have to raise the cooktop.
Remove the cooking grates and scrub them clean in very hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry. 2. Do a clean sweep. Disconnect the gas line and remove any hardware from the firebox (briquettes, heat shield). Sweep out debris. 3. Check for a clear connection. Pull out the burner. Clean the venturi tubes (which attach the burner to the gas controls) with a pipe cleaner or spider brush. 4. Light it up. Replace the burner, reattach the gas and light the barbecue to make sure everything is reconnected properly. 5. Complete reassembly, heat it up, then wipe it down. Turn off the barbecue.
