Customer Questions and Answers for Range Infinite Switch by Whirlpool

Richard, unfortunately, the only accurate way to test the infinite switch WPW10185286 would be to perform a voltage test. With the switch secured to the console and the console positioned safely, the 6 terminal side would be tested from the two outer terminals for 240VAC when set to dual heat. If there is 240VAC the switch would be good. If voltage testing is not preferred, a resistance check of the element can be done using the wires that connect into the 6 terminal spot. From the red wire to the yellow wire, there should be a resistance of 38-42 Ohms. From the red wire to the tan wire should measure 34-37 Ohms. If the element tests good, the switch would be the cause of failure. If the element W10823722 does not test good, it would need to be replaced.
