Cooktop Switch

This surface burner infinite switch controls power to an electric range or cooktop element, letting you set precise heat levels. Replacing a failed switch restores consistent heating and ensures the burner shuts off at the Off position.

• Regulates power to the surface element by cycling on and off for variable heat settings
• Interfaces with the control knob to adjust temperature from low to high
• Helps ensure the burner turns fully off at the Off position
• Common fix for a surface element that won't heat, only heats on High, won't shut off, or has erratic temperatures

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access the control panel, remove the knob, and unmount the old switch
• Move wires to the same labeled terminals on the new switch; transfer one at a time or use a photo for reference
• Secure the switch, reinstall the panel/knob, restore power, and test burner operation

This potentiometer is the rotary sensor behind the control knob. It converts knob rotation into an electrical signal the control board uses to adjust settings, restoring smooth, accurate response when a worn or erratic control causes inconsistent operation.

• Translates knob rotation into a variable-resistance signal for the electronic control
• Enables the control board to regulate power/heat or speed, depending on model
• Common failure symptoms: unresponsive or jumpy settings, dead spots when turning, or settings that drift
• Helps restore precise, repeatable adjustments at the knob

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Pull off the knob and open the control panel to access the potentiometer
• Move wires one at a time to the new part; align the shaft/flat to the knob as noted
• Reassemble and test full range of adjustment; follow any model-specific calibration if required

This fan switch restores dependable control of your appliance's ventilation fan. It routes power to the blower motor so you can turn the fan on and off from the control panel when the original switch becomes worn or fails.

Restore dependable oven-light operation. This door-activated switch turns the oven's interior light on when the door opens and off when it closes, letting you check food at a glance and preventing the light from staying on unnecessarily. What it does:

• Detects door position to control the oven cavity light on/off
• Worn or stuck contacts can make the light stay on with the door closed
• Failed switch can prevent the light from turning on when the door opens
• Intermittent or flickering light may indicate a failing switch

• 1 switch

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access the switch (typically mounted in the front frame near the door opening)
• Move wires to the new switch one at a time to maintain correct placement

The Infinite Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is the control switch for the surface element that allows the user to adjust the heating element to different power levels for precise cooking control.

Causes of a bad Infinite Switch can include overheating, damage from spilled liquids or debris beneath the control panel, or failure due to years of repeated use and exposure to heat.

Symptoms of a bad Infinite Switch include:

• Inability to adjust heating element power levels
• Element remaining stuck on high heat
• Switch malfunctions such as intermittent power or failure to turn off completely
• Visible damage, corrosion, or loose connections around the control area

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