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.

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 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

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 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

This control switch is the user-facing rotary selector that lets the appliance select cycles and settings. It restores clear, tactile control so the unit responds correctly when you turn the knob. What it does:

• Selects operating cycles and settings when the knob is turned
• Routes electrical signals from the control panel to the selected function
• Commonly replaced when settings do not change or the control feels loose/slips
• Resolves intermittent or unresponsive cycle selection and erratic behavior

• Disconnect power before attempting any repair to avoid electrical shock
• Accessible from the control panel; remove trim or console as needed per your model's service instructions
• Test function after reassembly; do not force the selector or use excessive torque

This push-button door switch detects when the appliance door is closed and allows normal operation. It replaces a worn or failed door interlock to restore reliable start/stop response and user safety. What it does

• Acts as the door-closed sensor that permits the appliance to start when the door is latched.
• Interrupts power to drive/heating circuits when the door opens, preventing operation with an open door.
• Stops intermittent starting or running caused by a faulty or stuck switch.
• Helps resolve symptoms like the appliance not starting, stopping mid-cycle, or not responding to door closure.

• One door switch (push-button type)

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before accessing electrical components.
• Remove door trim or control panel as needed to access and replace the switch; keep track of screws and clips.
• Verify switch operation with a continuity meter before and after installation.

This electrical switch restores reliable on/off control to the designated circuit in your appliance. Replacing a worn or stuck switch helps ensure lights, fans, or motors operate only when they should. What it does

• Opens and closes an electrical circuit when actuated
• Helps correct issues like a light that won't turn on/off or a component that won't run or won't stop running
• Resolves intermittent operation caused by worn contacts or a loose/broken actuator
• Addresses signs such as melted/discolored terminals or an unusually loose/tight switch feel

• 1 switch

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing (unplug or switch off the circuit breaker)
• Access the switch location per your model's service information
• Photograph wire positions and transfer connectors one at a time to the new switch; do not force terminals
• Secure the switch, reassemble, restore power, and test operation

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 replacement switch restores reliable on/off control for a specific function in your appliance, helping the selected feature respond consistently. A worn or failed switch can cause the feature to be unresponsive, intermittent, or stuck on.

• Opens and closes an electrical circuit to start/stop a function
• Common symptoms include no response, intermittent operation, or a feature that won't turn off
