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

This infinite switch controls the heat level of an electric range's surface burner, letting you adjust burner temperature from low to high. Replace a worn or failed control to restore variable heat regulation for safe cooking performance. What it does:

• Regulates electrical current to the surface burner so you can set low-to-high heat levels.
• Restores variable burner control when heat is stuck on a single setting or won't cycle.
• Addresses symptoms like no heat at some settings, inconsistent burner temperatures, or a burner that only works on one or two settings.
• Works as the user-operated control behind the range control knob for a single surface element.

• Disconnect power at the house breaker or unplug the range before servicing.
• Verify correct replacement by matching terminal layout and mounting to the old switch; only install the exact part specified for your model.
• Use proper tools and avoid touching live terminals; Handle glass-top ranges carefully to avoid cracking when accessing or replacing the switch.
