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.
