Kenmore Pro Cooktop Switch

The Small Surface Element Switch is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire electric ranges. It serves as the control knob and circuitry to safely power one of the smaller cooking elements. 

Symptoms of a bad surface element switch include:

• Inability to ignite or regulate heating for its assigned zone
• Switch knob that feels loose, won't click smoothly, or won't stay set  
• Intermittent or unreliable power to the smaller element coils
• Tripped circuit breakers upon use that don't reset

Causes relate to thousands of rotations wearing micro-switches and wiring terminals within the control assembly. Regular cleaning around knobs can prevent accelerated deterioration from baked-on debris conducting excess heat.

This genuine OEM replacement part is compatible with other brands including Electrolux and Kenmore as well.

This replacement switch restores reliable control of a selected function by opening or closing an electrical circuit inside your appliance. When the original switch wears out, buttons may stop responding or features may not activate consistently.

• Opens/closes an electrical circuit when the button/actuator is engaged
• Routes power or sends a signal to the control or component
• Common symptoms: no response when pressed, intermittent operation, or function won't start
• May show signs of heat damage, loose terminals, or inconsistent "click" feel

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Photograph or label wire positions to ensure correct transfer to the new switch
• Move wires one at a time; fully seat connectors on the correct terminals
• Reassemble, restore power, and test the function activated by the switch
