Question

This Is The Next Installment In The Continuing Saga Of Replacement Of Four Ap3109444 (4391989) Switches On The Cook-Top. Thanks For The Your Previous Responses To My Inquiries. Here's The Current Situation: 1. I Installed The New Switches As Discussed In Previous Messages On This Forum. For Example, Wires Attached To The L1 Terminal On The Old Switches, Were Moved To The L1 Terminals On The New Switches, Regardless Of The Relative Positions Of The Terminals On The Old Vs. New Switch Faces. 2. When The Control Knobs Are In The Off Position, The Power Light Is Continuously On; And There Is No Heat At The Burners. (Note: To Move From The Off Position, The Knobs Must Be Pushed In Before Turning. So, I Believe The Off Position Is Correctly Identified.) 3. The Dial On The Face Of The Cook-Top Has The "Hi" Heat Marked At The 1:00 Position; And The "Lo" Heat Marked At The 11:00 O'clock Position; . That Is, Turning The Knob Clockwise Moves It From "Hi" To "Lo" Heat, Passing Through Intermediate Settings. 4. If The Control Knob Is Turned Clockwise From The Off Position, The Power-On Light Goes Off Immediately, Until About The "Med Lo" Position Is Reached, When The Power-On Light Is Lit Again. It Will Stay Lit As The Knob Is Turned Further Clockwise, Including Returning To The Off Position. 5. On The Other Hand, If The Knob Is Turned Counterclockwise From The Off Position, The Power-On Light Will Stay Lit, Until Approximately The "Med Lo" Position Is Reached. At This Point, The Power-On Light Will Go Off, And Remain Off As The Knob Is Turned Further Counterclockwise, Until Returning To The Off Position, At Which Point The Power-On Light Will Be Lit Once Again. 6. If Left In The "Med Lo" Position, The Power-On Light Will Cycle On And And Off, As If It Is Being Controlled By A Thermostat. 7. The Above Described Results Are Experienced With The Operation Of Each Of The Four Controls. 8. There Is No Heat At Any Of The Burners, At Any Setting Of The Controls. Can You Help, Please?

Elmer, We've Got A Couple Of Issues, First, Only The Right Rear And Left Front Can Be Repaired. W10900107 Is The Correct Switch For These Two Burners. The Right Front And Left Rear Switches 3189172 3189169 Aren't Available And There Are No Substitutes, If You're Installing The Same Switch Kit As The Other Burners, The Unit Won't Work Correctly, Anyway. As For The Two Correct Switches Operation, Sounds More Like A Wiring Issue, Recheck And Make Sure You Have The Correct Wires On The Terminals, And That The Switch Is Installed In The Proper Position In The Console. Good Luck And Thanks
