Knob-controlled cooktops are simpler to diagnose than touch models: an element that runs full-on regardless of the knob is a failed infinite switch, and an element that never heats is either the element or that switch.
A cracked glass top should be taken out of service immediately. Isolate the circuit at the breaker, because moisture or spills reaching a live element through a crack is a shock and fire risk, and the glass panel needs replacing rather than patching.
