Package of 12

The Infinite Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool cooktops and ranges, designed to control the temperature of the burners. This critical component allows for the precise adjustment of heat levels, providing the flexibility needed for various cooking tasks, from simmering sauces to boiling water. 

Causes of these symptoms can vary from electrical issues within the switch, such as faulty contacts or internal components, to physical damage from wear and tear or overheating. It's essential to address these issues promptly to maintain the safety and functionality of your cooktop or range.

Symptoms of a bad Infinite Switch include:

• Burners not heating to the set temperature
• Inability to adjust the heat level of the burner, resulting in it being stuck on high, low, or off
• The burner not turning on at all

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

This is a round infinite control knob that replaces a worn, cracked, or missing stove surface control knob to restore user control and a finished appearance. It provides a simple push-on replacement for the stove's infinite switch shaft. What it does:

• Attaches to an infinite (surface element) control shaft to allow variable heat settings
• Lets you smoothly adjust burner power levels instead of using a broken or missing control
• Commonly replaced when the knob is cracked, stripped, loose, or will not stay on the shaft
• Fits standard D-shaped or splined infinite switch shafts (verify shaft type before ordering)

• One (1) infinite control knob

• Turn all power to the appliance off before servicing controls
• Pull the old knob straight off the control shaft; align and push the replacement onto the shaft until fully seated
• If the knob will not seat, verify shaft shape and orientation; do not force or hammer into place
• If the control shaft or switch is damaged, replace the switch assembly rather than forcing a knob
