Customer Questions and Answers for Surface Element Infinite Switch (Dual) by Whirlpool

This dual surface element infinite switch controls power to an electric cooktop or range's dual radiant burner. It restores precise heat selection and lets you choose inner-only or full dual-ring operation when the original switch fails.

• Regulates power cycling to maintain the selected heat level on a dual radiant element
• Selects between inner-only and dual-ring operation on compatible burners
• Common failure symptoms: no heat, only runs on high, cannot adjust temperature, burner won't shut off, dual feature won't engage
• Restores consistent, controllable surface cooking performance

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing—this is a high-voltage component
• Pull the control knob and open the control panel or rear cover to access the switch
• Photograph/note wire locations; move wires to the new switch one at a time
• Secure the switch, reassemble, restore power, and test both inner and dual-ring settings
