Switch, Infinite

Mike M for Model Number aer5715qaw

Answer Mike, Here is a way to test to see if the elements are working properly. Take a pan and fill it with a quart/ 32 oz of room temperature water. Put the pan on the small element and turn on high. The water should come to a boil in approximately 6 1/2 to 7/12 minutes. If it does not then the switch would most likely be the switch. 

Ted for Model Number MER 5765 RAQ

Answer Hello Ted. 7403P239-60 is the large element switch and 7403P238-60 is the small element switch. It does sound like the switch is bad on the unit. 

Sherri for Model Number MER6755AAW

Answer Hello Sherri, If the off button is not working then you will need to replace the control for unit W10166967. 

Donna for Model Number MERH865RAS

Answer Hello Donna. If it is the hot eye light, you will need to replace the element. If it is the on light, replace the infinite switch. 

Herman for Model Number AER5712BAB

Answer Hello Herman. Yes, if the switch does not close the contacts, the element will not heat up. 

Jim for Model Number mer5765qaq

Answer Hi Jim. Use a volt/ohm meter part # TJMA-DM1 to assist you in your diagnostics.It will be advantageous to find the supplied tech sheet inside the cabinet to aid you in the diagnosis. It allows you to look at the wiring diagram and it gives you part specifications which tell you circuit needs assistance. You need to check the rocker switch part # 74010225 above the infinite switch to see if it ohms correctly. It switches for the correct burner size so the dual element infinite switch part # 74003122 sends the power to the selected burner part # 7406P403-60. Thank You.
