Ashley, Unfortunately the shaft of the infinite switch is not available separately and you would have to replace the infinite switch.

Lars for Model Number electrolux side by side fridge freezer model EW23CS65GS1

A technician came to repair my fridge /freezer exposed the evaporator and found no ice on it anywhere. His prognosis was "system problem/ leak". An other technician would have to repair. I was told that my fridge needs a new evaporator and heatexchanger which they would have to order before the come. the estimate was $800.00 plus and HSTax. What would be wrong with an evaporator and does no ice on the evaporator define the need to replace it.Should not all the sensors, defrost thermostat, defrost timer relay overload etc not be tested to make this prognosis. The fridge came with the house we bought in september and the icemaker was never used until ab out 2 weeks ago. I don't think it is related but the problem started than in effect freezer and fridge did not cool anymoe. You help would be welcomed thank you. Lars

Hello Lars. If the compressor is running, and there is no frost, he diagnosed the unit correct. It is a sealed system issue with the unit. You will need an HVAC tech to repair the unit. Now if nothing is running, then you would check the parts you listed above.

Mary, If the unit will not adjust and only stays on high with a new switch and a new element then you will want to check to make sure that the element was wire properly.

Diana for Model Number Maytag MER5770aaw

I recently replaced the front dual burner because the center small burner was not working. I did wire to wire connection and the dual burner worked well. A few days later, when I turned on the small burner behind the dual burner, it turned on the dual burner (small center burner) simultaneously. I noticed that the new dual burner replacement was a little different wiring compared to the old one. However, the concept is the same. If the wiring wrong, the dual burner won't work, right? I'm puzzled, how can a switch control 2 burners? Please help! Thanks!

Hello Neil. It is normal for the elements to cycle on and off on the units. Some will stay on longer than others, depending on the setting on the switch. The only other thing that could be an issue here is bad wiring on the unit. Look for loose connections or broken connections on the unit.

Mike, Here is a way to test to see if the elements are working properly. Take a pan and fill it with a quart/ 32 oz of room temperature water. Put the pan on the small element and turn on high. The water should come to a boil in approximately 6 1/2 to 7/12 minutes. If it does not then the switch would most likely be the switch.

Hello Donna. If it is the hot eye light, you will need to replace the element. If it is the on light, replace the infinite switch.
