Hi,

Does it still cycle on and off or does it just stay on all the time?

Let me help you out. If the burner is getting to bright, you would need to replace that burner switch. The shunt inside the switch is allowing to much power to the element. You can purchase the switch here at parts select.If you need me to walk you through the reapir, you can reach me at my website at ApplianceEducator.com Tom
