How can I permanently disable a single burner on my ceramic hob?

I have an electric cooker. One of the hobs was turning itself on sometimes, I have changed the energy regulator of that hob and it is now permanently on! PLEASE can someone tell me how to disable this hob safely? I can find no info on google, which is amazing lol but I am probably searching the wrong thing (not being an expert by any means ;) I am capable of taking the glass top off, and loosening wires if needed, Im hoping this solves the problem as I can't afford an electrician :) Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance
