Blue stem. Surface element switch for 6 inch element.

This infinite switch controls power to a cooktop surface element, allowing precise low-to-high heat settings. Replace it if a burner won't heat, stays on high, or won't shut off when the knob is turned to OFF. What it does:

• Regulates voltage to the surface element by cycling power to match the knob setting
• Restores proper temperature control for the designated burner position
• Can address symptoms such as no heat, only high heat, erratic heating, or a burner that won't shut off
• Needed if the control shaft is stripped, broken, or difficult to turn

• One infinite switch

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before service
• Remove the knob and access the control panel to reach the switch
• Transfer wires to the new switch one at a time, matching terminal markings
• Test burner operation at low and high settings before reassembly

• Many ranges use different switches for small vs. large elements or specific burner locations. Order by your full model number and burner position. A failed surface element or receptacle can mimic switch issues—test those if symptoms persist.

• Grease or food spilling below the burners outside of the pan
• Burner elements showing signs of corrosion or damage from drips
• The drip pan no longer fitting properly or securely in place

Causes can be warping or damage of the drip pan over time due to exposure to heat. Dents and structural changes compromise its ability to direct drips properly.

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

This drip pan measures about 7-2/3 inches in diameter. Matching 8 inch drip bowl: WPW10196405. Same drip bowls in porcelain black: 6 inch W10290353RW and 8 inch WPW10290350. You may also consider buying a second set for when company comes over or for the holidays.

• Restores secure, tactile rotation when the original knob is loose or damaged
• Eliminates slipping or inability to turn the control caused by broken knobs
• Helps prevent accidental changes by providing a proper grip and stop alignment

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before servicing the appliance for safety
• Pull the old knob straight off the control shaft; align splines and push the new knob on until fully seated
• Do not force the knob; if it does not fit easily, confirm spline type and orientation
• After installation, restore power and verify proper control operation
