Manufacturer Part Number: W10900107

The Infinite Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool cooktops and ranges, designed to control the temperature of the burners. This critical component allows for the precise adjustment of heat levels, providing the flexibility needed for various cooking tasks, from simmering sauces to boiling water. 

Causes of these symptoms can vary from electrical issues within the switch, such as faulty contacts or internal components, to physical damage from wear and tear or overheating. It's essential to address these issues promptly to maintain the safety and functionality of your cooktop or range.

Symptoms of a bad Infinite Switch include:

  • Burners not heating to the set temperature
  • Inability to adjust the heat level of the burner, resulting in it being stuck on high, low, or off
  • The burner not turning on at all

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

Dean P. for Model Number JBP21BY2WH

Need wiring help. The wiring instructions sent were not helpful for the surface switch switch that I have currently on my stove. The current switch has 2 prongs up top and 3 across the bottom, lets call them Prongs A-E. A & B are up top and C-E are across the bottom of the old switch. There are 3 different colored wires that go into the old switch, red, black and white/black. Prong A (up top) is a white/black wire. Prong B (up top) is 2 red wires. Prong C is 2 red wires. Prong D is 2 black wires. Prong E is a white/black wire. Please let me know how I need to correctly wire out this new switch with the existing wires. Thank you for your help.

Answer

Hello Dean, The instructions should have never listed wire colors since every model has different wire colors. The way to decipher the wiring on these switches is from the terminal labels. The last thing you want to do is remove all of the wires prior to installing the new switch. This way avoids having to pull the wiring diagram for the unit and trying to make sense of it like ancient hieroglyphics. If you cannot see the labels on the back of the switches you may have to get a flashlight and/or a magnifying glass. The wire that was on P will go to the pilot terminal on the new switch. The wire that was on the L1 terminal will go to the P2 terminal on the new switch. The wire that was on the L2 terminal will go to the P1 terminal on the new switch. The wire that was on the H1 terminal will go on the terminal labeled 4 on the new switch. The wire that was on the H2 terminal will go to the terminal labeled 2 on the new switch.
