Customer Questions and Answers for Infinite Switch (Top Burner Control) by Whirlpool

This infinite switch controls a cooktop burner's heat output, letting the surface element cycle between temperature settings for precise cooking. Replaces a worn or failed control to restore proper surface-element operation and heat regulation. What it does:

• Regulates power to a single top/burner surface element so heat increases or decreases smoothly
• Common repair for burners that won't heat, won't change temperature, or stay too hot/cold
• Restores cycling behavior when the element fails to turn on or off at selected settings
• Works with standard knob-style cooktop controls that use infinite-switch technology

• One infinite switch

• Disconnect power to the range or cooktop before starting any repair
• Label and photograph wiring before removal to ensure correct reconnection
• Access may require removing the surface element and control panel; handle ceramic and wiring with care
