Kenmore / Sears Cooktop Switch

Note: Part has been revised and may no longer include the wires. The switch is the same. Use your existing wires.

This surface burner infinite switch sits behind the knob and regulates power to the cooktop/range element. Replacing a failed switch restores accurate heat settings so the burner can turn on, modulate properly, and shut off as expected.

• Regulates on/off cycling of the surface element to achieve the selected heat level
• Sends power to the burner based on knob position
• Common failure symptoms: burner won't heat, only runs on high, won't shut off, or heats erratically
• Knob turns but the burner does not respond

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; surface elements operate at high voltage
• Pull off the knob and remove the control panel/backguard as needed to access the switch
• Transfer wires one at a time from the old switch to the matching terminals on the new switch
• Align the shaft to fit your knob, reassemble the panel, restore power, and test operation

Color: Black. Instruction sheet included.

This top burner valve switch mounts to a surface burner gas valve and closes the ignition circuit when you turn the knob to Lite. Replacing a worn switch restores dependable sparking and stops intermittent or nonstop clicking at the burners.

• Mounts on the surface burner valve and closes the ignition circuit at the Lite position
• Signals the spark module to fire the igniters so the burner lights
• Helps ensure quick, consistent burner ignition
• Common symptoms: no spark at a burner, intermittent ignition, or continuous clicking with knobs in Off

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Pull off the burner knob and remove the control/manifold panel to access the valve switch
• Transfer wires one at a time and align the switch correctly on the valve stem; avoid overtightening
• Reassemble, restore power, test for spark with gas off, then relight and check for leaks

This limit switch is a safety control for compatible cooking appliances. It opens or closes an electrical circuit when a preset limit is reached—commonly temperature or travel—helping protect components and ensure proper operation of heating and latch systems.

• Monitors a specific limit at its mounting point (temperature or mechanism travel, depending on model)
• Opens/closes the circuit to interrupt or allow power to related components
• A failed switch can prevent heating, stop self-clean from starting, or keep the door from locking/unlocking
• Helps protect wiring and controls from damage during abnormal conditions

• Disconnect power to the appliance and allow all components to cool before servicing
• Access location varies by model; take photos and label wires before removal
• Transfer wires one at a time to the new switch; secure with existing hardware
• If the old switch tripped due to overheating or binding, inspect fans, vents, and latch/linkages to correct the root cause

Oven light switch.

This replacement switch restores reliable on/off control for a specific function in the appliance, helping the selected feature respond consistently when operated.

• Controls electrical power to a designated circuit or component when actuated
• Sends an on/off signal to the control or directly to the component it operates
• Failure symptoms can include no response, intermittent operation, or a switch that feels loose, sticks, or is hard to press
• May show signs of heat damage, arcing, or a burning smell near the control area when faulty

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Access location varies by model; remove the control panel, backguard, or front panel as needed
• Label or photograph wire positions and transfer them one at a time to the new switch
• After reassembly, restore power and test operation of the associated function

This push-button door switch detects when the appliance door opens and closes to control interior circuits like the light or other door-activated features. It restores proper door-sensed operation when the original switch fails. What it does:

• Acts as the door-open/door-closed sensor for interior circuits
• Turns interior light and other door-controlled functions on and off
• Can prevent circuits from operating when the door is open
• Common symptom: interior light won't turn on or won't turn off when door is operated

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting service
• Handle wiring and terminals carefully; note wire locations before removal
• Test switch continuity with a multimeter after installation to confirm operation

This burner ignitor switch controls spark delivery to a cooktop burner so the burner lights when the knob is turned. It replaces a worn or failed switch to restore ignition responsiveness and consistent sparking. What it does:

• Routes spark current to the surface burner ignitor when the control knob is turned
• Stops spark delivery when the control knob is released or turned off
• Commonly used when a burner fails to spark or sparks intermittently
• Works with the cooktop's ignition system to enable safe, reliable lighting

• One burner ignitor switch

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Access may require removing the cooktop or control panel
• Verify wiring and switch operation with a multimeter before replacement

The Surface Element Control Switch is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges. It is responsible for regulating the heat output of the surface elements on your range, allowing you to adjust the temperature for different cooking needs.

A bad surface element control switch can be caused by wear and tear, electrical issues, or component failure. When the control switch becomes faulty, it can result in issues such as the surface elements not heating up, inability to adjust the temperature, or inconsistent heat output.

Symptoms of a bad surface element control switch include:

• Surface elements not heating up
• Inability to adjust the temperature of the elements
• Surface elements heating unevenly or inconsistently

Replace your faulty surface element control switch with this genuine OEM Frigidaire part to restore your range's surface elements. This Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
 

This wiring harness routes power and signals between the appliance's control and various electrical components, restoring reliable electrical connections and helping the appliance operate as designed. Use it when wiring is damaged, corroded, or intermittent. What it does:

• Delivers power and signal paths between control boards, switches, and motors
• Restores lost or intermittent electrical connections that can cause failure to start or run
• Replaces burned, frayed, or broken wires and damaged connector terminals
• Helps eliminate arcing, shorts, and communication errors caused by faulty wiring

• Always disconnect all power (unplug or shut off breaker) before starting repairs
• Match connectors and wire routing to the original harness; avoid stretching or pinching wires
• Inspect mating connectors and terminals for damage before installation; replace any damaged parts
• If connectors are tight or corroded, clean or replace them rather than forcing connections
