This infinite surface element switch controls variable heat for a cooktop burner, restoring smooth temperature adjustment and reliable element power. Designed to match OEM fit and function for compatible Whirlpool-range cooktops. What it does:

• Regulates burner output with infinite (continuously variable) settings for precise heat control.
• Replaces a worn or failed surface element switch that causes a burner to stay stuck at one setting or not change heat levels.
• Restores proper on/off and variable power behavior when burner temperatures are erratic or unresponsive.
• Works with the corresponding surface element and control knob to deliver consistent cooking performance.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Handle internal wiring carefully; match wire terminals exactly when replacing the switch.
• If mounting screws, brackets, or cutouts are damaged, inspect and replace as needed.

This machine screw is used across appliances to secure brackets, covers, and internal components. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener helps keep parts aligned and tight, reducing vibration and preventing loose or shifting assemblies.

• Provides machine-thread fastening for panels, brackets, and internal parts
• Helps eliminate rattling, vibration, and loose fits
• Restores proper attachment when the original screw is stripped, missing, or corroded
• Used wherever an 8-32 screw is specified in the service manual or parts list

• Disconnect power to the appliance; turn off gas/water if applicable
• Match the screw to the original location to confirm size and thread
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; use the correct driver
• Tighten snugly—do not overtighten to prevent stripping or cracking
