• Helps resolve symptoms like the appliance not starting, stopping mid-cycle, or not responding to door closure.

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.
