The Infinite Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges and cooktops. This part controls the temperature of the small burner on electric ranges and cooktops by regulating the power supplied to the burner. The infinite switch allows for precise temperature settings, providing the flexibility to cook a wide variety of dishes by adjusting the heat level as needed. 

Over time, infinite switches can wear out or malfunction, leading to issues with controlling the burner's temperature.  

Symptoms of a bad Infinite Switch include:

• The burner does not heat or heats intermittently
• The burner heats to full power regardless of the setting
• Inability to adjust the burner's temperature accurately
• Physical damage to the switch, such as cracking or melting

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Dual Element Control Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges and cooktops. This control switch is designed for models with dual heating elements, allowing you to adjust the size of the heat output on the LF element depending on whether you are using the inner or outer element. 

Causes of a bad Dual Element Control Switch can include electrical issues such as short circuits or worn contacts, physical damage to the knob or switch mechanism, or problems with the internal components that regulate power.

Symptoms of a failing Dual Element Control Switch include:

• Inability to change between the inner and outer elements
• Irregular heating or lack of response when adjusting the temperature
• The switch feeling loose or not engaging properly
• Burner not heating even though the switch is turned on

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
