Description

This infinite switch controls the heat of an electric range or cooktop surface element by cycling power at your selected setting. Replace it to restore precise knob-controlled heating when a burner won't heat, stays on high, or won't shut off.

• Regulates power to a single surface element by cycling on/off to maintain the chosen temperature
• Interfaces with the control knob and the burner's circuit to deliver the selected heat level
• Common failure symptoms: element won't heat, only runs on high, won't turn off, or heats inconsistently
• Knob turning without response or noticeable "clicks" can indicate a worn shaft/contacts in the switch

What's included: 1 infinite control switch Install notes:

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; this is a high-voltage component
• Pull off the burner knob and access the control panel; note wire positions or take a photo, then transfer wires to matching terminals on the new switch
• Mount the switch, reassemble, restore power, and test each heat setting
