Ed December 22, 2012 for Model Number KECC502BWH1 Hello, The back right dual burner swith has started making a grinding noise when turned and only the low/single side of element heats up. Pretty sure it is the switch. I've replaced one before but not sure which of your part numbers is right for this model, back right dual burner. Betting it is the more expensive one since it's dual but want to make sure. Thanks.
Jeff December 21, 2012 for Model Number whirlpool gjc3034hq3 My left front dual burner comes on by itself for a few seconds and then back off, sometimes 30 minutes after it was used. The dial is in the off position. This keeps the surface very hot and dangerous. Is this a switch issue, burner or sensor? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Jeff, I would open the unit and make sure no wiring is pinched or shorted. If no problems are found, replace the infinite switch. To access the switch, the cook top will have to be pulled out of the counter top to access the screws around the edges of the unit. This allows you to remove the glass cooking surface to expose the internal workings of the appliance. Read More...

Mike W. June 08, 2012 for Model Number KECC502GWH3 Do the dual element controls have a sensitivity / calibration adjustment? Both of mine seem to function correctly, but "Low" is much hotter than with the single element controls....From cold start, single element control set to low causes element to come on and go off in 2 or 3 seconds. Dual element left front control set to single low causes element to stay on 30 seconds before going off...20 seconds on right rear.. I am trying to decide if new controls will help or if this is by design. Thank you for your opinion!
1 Answer Hello Mike. No, the controls do not have a calibration on them. It is normal for the elements to have different lows from a single to a dual element. Read More...
Keith May 31, 2012 for Model Number KECC562GBL3 Lower left dual burner only operates in dual element, can not operate in single element. How do I test to see if it is the burner element or the swtich?
1 Answer Hello Keith. Turn the switch on to the single element and test and see if the switch is powering both the inner and outer element wires. If so, replace the switch 8203534. If not, replace the element. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Chris April 30, 2012 for Model Number KECC567HSS2 The left front dual burner will not operate the single burner. I suspect the switch. Please advise if this is the Fix. Is the range top removed from under the counter?
1 Answer Hello Chris, If the switch doesn't "feel" suspicious, the surface elements W10823692 are first suspect on this design. They tend to fail more often than the other designs. I would definitely test it before ordering a part. If the switch does turn out to be the problem, the part number you had for the infinite switch 8203534 is correct. The unit has to be pulled and the glass top comes off of the bottom half. The main top supports the entire unit in the counter top so if you were able to disassemble it in the counter, the bottom half of the unit would fall in the cabinet. Read More...
Connie February 10, 2012 for Model Number 8203534 We bought a house, the top left knob was broken off. I bought the new switch (model # above)but how do you take it apart to put the new switch in? Model of stove is KitchenAid KECC5028W2
1 Answer Hello Connie. You will need to uninstall the cooktop and separate the burner box from the cooktop to access and replace the switches. Hope this helps. Read More...
