Kenmore Cooktop 790.42739406 (79042739406, 790 42739406) Parts

The Surface Element Switch is an OEM part for Frigidaire electric cooktops and ranges. It is an electronic component that controls the power supply to individual cooking elements on the surface.

Causes can be normal wear and tear over time, exposure to moisture, food spills or other contaminants on the cooktop. Physical damage from impacts could also cause switch failure.

Symptoms of a bad surface element switch include:

• Elements failing to heat up or staying hot even when controls are set to off
• Inconsistent or intermittent power to surface elements
• Loose, cracked, or non-responsive switches

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

Size: 6-20 x 0.312 inch.

• Reduces vibration and movement during normal operation
• Helps maintain proper door/panel fit and function when used where specified

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance or shut off breaker) before starting any repair
• Basic hand tools are typically required; access may require removing exterior panels
• Handle edges carefully; wear gloves and eye protection to avoid injury
• Follow model-specific instructions for correct placement and fastener torque
