Original Frigidaire Part.

The Surface Unit Switch Kit is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges. It controls the power and heat levels to the surface burners on the cooktop, allowing you to adjust the temperature for cooking. This kit typically includes the necessary components to replace a faulty switch and restore proper functionality to the burners.

Causes of a bad surface unit switch can include electrical malfunctions, wear and tear from regular use, or damage due to spills or impacts. A faulty switch can prevent the burner from heating correctly or at all.

Symptoms of a bad surface unit switch include:

• Burners not heating up or heating unevenly
• Inability to adjust the burner temperature
• Burners not turning on or off properly
• Sparks or electrical odors near the switch

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Small Surface Element Switch is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire electric ranges. It serves as the control knob and circuitry to safely power one of the smaller cooking elements. 

Symptoms of a bad surface element switch include:

• Inability to ignite or regulate heating for its assigned zone
• Switch knob that feels loose, won't click smoothly, or won't stay set  
• Intermittent or unreliable power to the smaller element coils
• Tripped circuit breakers upon use that don't reset

Causes relate to thousands of rotations wearing micro-switches and wiring terminals within the control assembly. Regular cleaning around knobs can prevent accelerated deterioration from baked-on debris conducting excess heat.

This genuine OEM replacement part is compatible with other brands including Electrolux and Kenmore as well.
