Causes of a bad indicator light lens typically involve high heat exposure, which can lead to cracking or warping, or accidental impacts during cleaning or use.

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

This surface element control replaces the damaged or worn control that regulates heat to an electric cooktop burner. Restores reliable power and heat adjustment for a single surface element on compatible ranges. What it does

• Acts as the infinite switch that controls the burner's heat level based on the knob setting.
• Replaces a control that causes a burner to stay off, fail to heat, or not respond to knob changes.
• Helps eliminate intermittent heating, erratic temperature changes, or a burner that won't cycle properly.
• Works with the corresponding burner element and knob to provide stepped heat control.

• Disconnect power to the range at the breaker before starting any repairs.
• Basic hand tools required; remove the cooktop or rear console per your model's service instructions.
• Handle terminals and wiring carefully; match wire locations exactly during reassembly.

This dual infinite switch controls the inner and outer portions of a dual surface element on your range, providing smooth, adjustable heat levels. Replacing a failed switch restores reliable heating and proper temperature regulation for both ring sizes.

• Regulates power to both the small and large sections of a dual burner
• Typical failure symptoms: only one ring heats, no heat, won't switch between sizes, or heat stuck on high/erratic
• Mounts behind the surface knob and governs burner temperature settings
• Restores consistent simmer-to-boil control across all settings

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the cooktop to cool completely
• Access the control panel, then photograph or label all wire positions before removal
• Move wires to the new switch one at a time, matching terminal markings
• Reuse the existing knob; reassemble and test both inner and outer element settings

The Screw is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges and ovens. This part is designed to securely fasten various parts of the appliance, ensuring stability and durability. 

Over time, screws can become loose due to the expansion and contraction of materials with temperature changes. Regular use and the occasional necessary removal for repairs or cleaning can also wear down the threads, making them less effective.  

Symptoms of a bad Screw (Chrome) include:

• Loose or wobbly components that should be securely fastened.
• Difficulty in securing parts due to stripped or damaged screw threads.
• Visible corrosion or deterioration of the screw.

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
