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 latch knob screw secures the latch knob to its shaft on compatible appliances. Replace a missing, stripped, or rusted screw to restore a firm, reliable attachment and proper latch/knob operation. What it does:

• Attaches the latch knob securely to the latch mechanism/shaft
• Helps maintain proper door latch engagement and knob control
• Common fix for a loose, wobbly, or falling-off knob
• Replaces a lost, corroded, or cross-threaded screw

• 1 latch knob screw

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool completely before servicing
• Align the knob on the shaft and start the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten with the correct screwdriver; do not overtighten to prevent damage
• The latch engages and releases smoothly after installation

This white control knob attaches to a surface burner's infinite switch. It turns the element on/off and selects heat levels; replacing a worn or broken knob restores smooth, accurate control of the surface burner.

• Attaches to the surface burner's infinite switch to control heat settings
• Restores on/off and temperature selection when the original knob is damaged or missing
• Common symptoms: knob cracked, stripped, loose/wobbly, or missing

• Turn all controls off and disconnect power to prevent accidental activation
• Pull the old knob straight off the switch shaft—do not pry sideways
• Align the new knob with the switch shaft and press firmly until fully seated
• Test the control through the full range of settings
