I purchased a universal replacement burner switch WB-21X5243. The original does not look like either pictured on the instructions that came with the replacement (one of the pictures looks like the replacement switch, the other picture looks different but not like the one in my oven). How do I make the wiring connections? My old switch has five connections with the following labels: H1 1 P 2 L13 L2 5 4H2 The new switch has five connections with the following labels: P L1 L2 H1 H2 Do I just match them up as they appear: P & P 2 L1 & L13 L2 & L2 5 H1 & H1 1 H2 & 4H2?

I need the surface unit switch for the large burner. Will your AP2023620 do the trick or do I need something different for the bigger unit.

Hi. The large dual burner only runs at high, regardless of control setting. Can switch between small & large burner, but always on high. Would this be the infinite switch? And which is the replacement? Thank you.
