Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Surface Unit Switch Kit (Part Number: OEM12261342)

1 Answer

Robert, What is the manufacturer part number on the switch ? We can't find or recal ma six terminal infinite switch for your C221 cooktop. Both switch assembly(s) for your unit are equipped with five terminals : L1, L2, H1, H2, and P. Someone may have installed a substitute switch in the past. In most cases, the L1 and L2 wires to the switches are "staked" together and "daisy chained" from switch to switch. You may want to attach the two wires together, install a new terminal and attach the wire on the switch terminal.

Thomas for Model Number C201

Followup immediately preceding question: Since I can't buy one double flat stem knob from you, only sold in package of 4, can I just buy 4 AP4087111 D stem switches all the same? Would 4 all the same work just as well? This is Run 03 C201 Jenn Aire. Aren't they supposed to be all the same in the same run? Might one be different on mine because one might have been replaced, or would you say one is supposed to be different for an important electrical reason, or is it just the stem shape for the knobs. If I have to buy 3 of one and one of another for an electrical reason, then would you say I can use a D stem knob on the one double flat stem switch by adding a shim around it or do I have to buy a bag of 4 flat stem knobs and throw 3 of the knobs away?

1 Answer

Hello Thomas. Yes, you can buy 4 of the flat switches and use the set of 4 knobs. Hope this helps.

Thomas for Model Number JennAire modular C201 electric cooktop 220volt RUN 03

Run 03 serial# 32278694. Switches (controls) stems overall D shape but have split down the center ie: split D. 5 contacts for wires. 3 Switches say INF240P871 201241 except rear right (small burner 6" burner) (which may be different because of replacement or its just different) but it says INF240PX-803, also 5 contacts for wires, but it has square stem, not D (possibly what you call double flat). Wish to replace all 4 switches. Do I order 4 the same or 3 of one and one of another? Which switches should I order. My model tag says Run 03. I appreciate your help.

Hello George. You will install the two wires on H onto the same terminal on the new switch 700855K. You will need to see if it is H1 or H2. Hope this helps.

Hello George. Loosen the mounting nut on the switch 700855K and turn the switch to the proper position. When the line is on off, tighten the nut down. Hope this helps.

James B.

When I plug in ap4116885 in on the left side the front burner works ok when I cut in on. I cut it off and cut on the back burner and both burners burn. I take it out and plugged it on the right side and works o.K., but when I plug ap4426028 from the right side to the left side it runs all the time without the switch on. I appreciate all the help that you have given me and sorry to be so much trouble. Do I have the right cartridge? Do I need a 4 pin one? My model is c 228.

1 Answer

Hello James. For the left side you will need the 4 pin cartridge. You will need to add a spade Y708572 to the cartridge for it to work properly. Hope this helps.

Hello Xnyer. Remove the knob from the switch. If it has a "D" shaft, you will order 700855K. If it has the double flat shaft, you will need to order W11120795. You do not need the run number for your model number. Hope this helps.

Hello Phillip. The correct switch will depend on the run number on your unit. You can locate this number after the model number on the label, it will be under the word Run. If you have run from 1-2 you will order 700855K, 3-5 will be W11120795 and from 6 and on W11120791. Hope this helps!
