Customer Questions and Answers for Range Surface Burner Infinite Switch by Ge

Glo, unfortunately, wires are not included with the infinite switch and the manufacturer does not list replacement wires for the model provided.

James, the switch kit WB21X36771 is the revised replacement for the part number WB21X240.

Paul, with the range unplugged from the outlet, the switches (while in the off position) would need to be tested. Starting from the left-most switch WB24T10029, the wires would need to be disconnected and the switch tested from L1 to P for continuity. If there is continuity, the switch has failed. The second switch WB24T10146 and the third switch WB24T10029 would be tested the same. The dual-element switch WB24X47186 would need to be tested from S1 to S2 for continuity, and if there is continuity, the switch has failed.

Rick, With the element getting too hot this would be a faulty infinite switch.

John, This issue would be caused by a faulty infinite switch. To test the switch you would disconnect the wires and test from L1 to P on the switch for continuity. If there is continuity then the switch is faulty and will need replaced.

William, Yes, the WB24T10146 / WB24T10146 Control Surf Elem. is also referred to as an "Infinite" switch. The part is in stock and available at this time. Thanks,

Patrick, If you look at the back of the switch there will be lettering on it. The Black will go to L1 and the Red to L2.

John, you should read 220-240 VAC across the H1 and H2 terminals of the switch, when it is in the on position. If you only have 124.5 volts, one of the interior contacts has failed and you'll need to replace the switch.
