Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Range Infinite Switch (Part Number: OEM18049593)

Rick for Model Number JEC 9530 BDS

Large right front burner / dual element no longer heats up. Control knob still generates a red light to indicate the knob is ON, its interface with overhead vent still activates the vent. the dual element / switch used to make clicking noises---I would turn the knob a little bit and the noise would stop. I kinda think the switch is bad, but don't know for sure, so am considering buying both switch and dual-element. when parts arrive and tech opens up cooktop---he maybe then can determine/test which part (or both ?) is defective. atleast I will have both available...and return whichever (unopened) part I do not need. What are the correct part numbers for the dual element and appropriate switch for my specific JEC 9530 BDS. this unit is probably 15 yrs old.

Hello Reg. Unfortunately, we are unable to ship outside of the US or Puerto Rico at this time. We will need a US physical address to ship parts to.

Bob, The WPW10185286 / 74011596 LF switch, "custom" is the correct switch to order for the model number you supplied. Make sure you remove power to the range before you remove the control panel and/or switch. There maybe a damaged or shorted wire or terminal, but it's more likely a damaged circuit on the PC Board inside the control switch, and one of the power legs to the burner has been eliminated so the clicking noise.

Hello Pete, This sounds like you may have a poor electrical connection between the terminal block and the surface element circuits. Pull the unit, unplug it and make sure all of the nuts on the terminal block are tight. If this is not the issue and no other problems are located, the infinite switches should be replaced for the surface elements giving the issue. The limiters for each element will turn the power off to the surface elements when a pre-determined temperature has been achieved.
