• Fixes ovens not reaching set temperature or running too hot/too cold
• Addresses ovens that won't cycle off or heat continuously
• Helps improve erratic temperature swings, inconsistent baking results, and extended preheats

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool completely; turn off gas supply if applicable
• Note the exact routing of the sensing bulb/capillary; do not kink or sharply bend it, and reinstall bulb clips in the original location
• Transfer mounting hardware and the control knob as needed; align the shaft to match the original orientation

6" element switch

The Infinite Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE ranges. This switch controls the operation of the large heating elements on the cooktop. The element switch is responsible for regulating power delivery to the various heating elements based on temperature and function settings. It allows for precise heating control to maintain optimal cooking temperatures. Over time, element switches can wear down from repeated use and heat exposure.

Causes of a bad switch include burned-out or loose internal connections, damaged terminals, or defects in the electronic components.

Symptoms of a bad element switch include:

• Inability to turn elements on or off
• Elements not heating properly or unexpectedly shutting off
• Inconsistent or fluctuating oven or surface temperatures
• Electronic display or control issues

This GE OEM replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

• Common failure signs: switch won't stay on, no response when toggled, intermittent operation, or physical damage/discoloration
• Direct-fit replacement designed for the original switch location
• Helps restore safe, predictable control to the appliance

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off gas before servicing
• Access is typically from the control panel; retain orientation of wires and note terminal positions
• Transfer wires one at a time to the new switch to avoid miswiring
• Inspect connectors for heat damage; replace damaged terminals before reassembly

This indicator light installs in the control panel of compatible ranges/cooktops and illuminates to show when a heating element or function is active. Replacing a failed lamp restores clear, at-a-glance status feedback during use.

• Provides visual confirmation when a surface element or function is turned on

• May also be referred to as a pilot light or panel indicator
• Visual indicator only; does not control heating performance

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Allow the appliance to cool completely
• Access the console/backguard area; note wire positions and move them to the new light one at a time
• Seat and secure the light, restore power, and test operation before reassembly

A light indicator is installed on ranges and wall ovens as a safety feature. The purpose of the light indicator is to tell the user when the appliance is in operation. When the unit is heating up or running, the light indicator will illuminate. A replacement part is necessary if the component is no longer functioning.A visual inspection will determine if the light indicator is working. Turn the oven on, and if the light doesn't glow, it's broken. Replacing the light indicator is a quick and easy process. Unplug the range from its power source before starting. An adjustable wrench or nut driver is required to make the replacement. The light indicator is located inside the cover plate of the appliance.This light indicator is an authentic OEM replacement part. It is sold as an individual unit. It comes sourced directly from the manufacturer. The light indicator is made of durable, high-quality materials. The component is compatible with several models of ranges. It fits into products produced by General Electric, RCA, and Hotpoint.
