Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Infinite Switch (Top Burner Control), Single (Part Number: OEM18834156)

Roger for Model Number Amana, AKH30HR, P1119903S

Replacing an infinite switch on this cooktop. Ordered and received a W11122012 switch from Appliance Parts Pros. The new switch is physically different than the original and the wiring terminals are in different relative locations when compared to the original. Wiring terminal markings cross, with the exception on one terminal The original switch has a "H2" terminal and the W11122012 has an "HC" terminal. I have a couple questions. Is the W11122012 the correct switch for my application? If it is, does the original "H2" wire land on the new "HC" terminal? Seems rather straight forward, and obvious, but I wanted to confirm prior to installing the new switch and reinstalling the cooktop. Thanks, Roger Carter

Roger,

All the terminals will connect the same and the H2 wire will connect to where the HC is.

Phyllis, You're correct on all counts. Each burner element has an individual control switch C2740701 and if a burner "sticks" on high or low settings it's usually a bad switch.Unfortunately, the switch needed to repair your cooktop, is "o longer available"(based on the model and production number you supplied), The switch you listed in your post may be a satisfactory replacement. All parts purchased from APP are guaranteed for 365 days from date of purchase, and there is a 365 day "no hassle" return policy for any part,(you'll be responsible for return shipping).
