The Infinite Switch Kit (Dual) is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges and cooktops. This kit includes the dual infinite switch, which allows for the independent control of two heating elements on the same burner. It provides precise control over the temperature settings for cooking surfaces, ensuring optimal performance.

Causes of a bad infinite switch can include wear and tear from frequent use, electrical surges, or exposure to moisture and spills. These issues can affect the switch's ability to regulate the burner temperature effectively.

Symptoms of a bad infinite switch include:

  • One or both burners not heating up or heating inconsistently
  • Burners staying at a fixed heat level regardless of the setting
  • Difficulty in adjusting the burner temperature
  • The switch feeling loose, stuck, or unresponsive

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Larry for Model Number JES9800AAB

JennAir JES9800AAB. Right front dual burner. Removed old infinite switch (7403P406-60) and installed new switch (12002125). Wired as follows. Installed jumper wire from P1 to S1 on new switch Single red wire on #4 (old switch) to #2 on new switch Dual red wire on #5 (old switch) to P2 on new switch Single black wire on #1 (old switch) to S2 on new switch Dual black wire on #2 (old switch) to P1 on new switch Brown/tan wire on #3 (old switch) to #4 on new switch Yellow wire on #6 (old switch) to 4A on new switch PROBLEM after wiring to new switch. Burner is either off or on high. No in between. What did I do wrong.?

Answer

Larry, based on the information provided, it sounds like the wiring may have been changed around on your unit. To match the manufacturer's wiring diagram, it would be recommended that the wiring is inspected to ensure that the single red wire is going to the L2 terminal on the element (terminal on the thermal limiter that is farthest from the center of the element). From there, the element should have the tan wire going to the middle terminal while the yellow wire goes to the outer terminal (L2 terminal, inner coil terminal, and outer coil terminal will be located on the same side of the thermal limiter as each other). If these wires do not match up, it would be easiest to change them to the correct position for future repairs. Otherwise, the wires at the element would need to be identified as to which one is placed where so that the switch could be wired accordingly. The wire located at the element's L2 terminal would go to position 2 of the switch, the middle terminal would go to position 4, and the outer terminal would go to position 4a.
