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

An infinite switch that controls the heat level for an electric range surface element, allowing smooth temperature adjustments and reliable burner control. Replaces a faulty control to restore consistent element heating and variable heat settings. What it does:

• Regulates power to a single electric surface element so the burner can vary between low and high heat.
• Used when a burner won't heat, stays at one temperature, or heats inconsistently.
• Replaces the control behind the range knob to return normal temperature responsiveness.
• Matches the original function and is intended for surface (coil/glass-top) element control.

• Disconnect the range from power at the breaker before starting any repairs.
• Keep terminals and wiring dry; avoid touching exposed contacts during installation.
