David M April 05, 2022 for Model Number RF367LXSQ 0 I bought this stove new in 2006. Both the left and right dual front burners have always worked badly, in the same way. The inner and outer elements work. Here is the problem: I have almost no control over temperature. When turned on, they provide very little heat unless turned to highest temperature setting. When I back off from highest setting it's like I turned the burner to medium low. There is no in between. When I turn the burner to lowest setting it's too hot; like it's set at medium or medium low. I have not checked wiring. The stove came directly from an new appliance dealer. I didn't call for warranty service in 2006, because I figured, as a new cook, it had to be my terrible skills. What is the probability that replacing both temperature switches will fix the problem? Thanks for the help!
1 Answer David M, Based on the information provided the elements are either on or off (they work or they don't) however the temperature is controlled by the infinite switches. This is done by simply turning the elements on and off. If the elements are working then the issue could only be the switches. Read More...
Jillian October 16, 2019 for Model Number RF362LXTQ0 My front left burner is dual, but the single setting works only on the two highest settings. When set below that, the element will activate for a moment or two and then cease to heat. How do I figure out the right part to replace? Thanks!
1 Answer Jillian, There are only two possibilities here. Easiest to check is the infinite switch. There are stampings on the back of the switch that you can disconnect the wires going to them and do a continuity test between the terminal to determine if the switch has failed. Take photos of wire locations for ease in reconnecting. Check between terminals marked P2 and 4 and 4A with the switch turned to a dual setting with no power to unit [flip the breaker off] Also check P1 to 2 for the same. If any of these do not have continuity then the switch is bad. If all checks ok then the element is the problem. Switch part number is WP9758060 and element is WP8523047 Read More...
Mueed M April 29, 2018 for Model Number GERC4110SQ0 The front left dual burner is not working properly. The inner burner does work but doesn't glow as bright the outer burner does. I had to turn the lights off to notice the red glow coming from inner burner. Continuity tests are all okay except one. P1-S2 failed. Successful test are: In single mode: P1-4 P2-2 In dual mode P1-4 P2-2 P1-4a But P1-S2 fails in both modes. I am not sure if this can affect inner burner. Pleas suggest a solution.
1 Answer Mueed, P1 to S2 would not need to be checked as this would not cause the inner burner to not work. if you check from terminal 2 to terminal 4a there should be 240 vac. If there is proper voltage then the element will be the issue and will need replaced. Read More...
Mike October 12, 2013 for Model Number Whirlpool GR563LXSB 0 The right front dual element operates only on the outer element; the inner element won't heat. The burner indicator light turns on for both the hi and low settings. How do I check to see if the problem is the element or the infinite switch?
1 Answer Mike, the easiest and most likely test to make, is at the infinite switch WP9758060. You'll need a multi meter [ ] to test the circuits. remove power to the range, remove the upper back panel, At the switch, remove the black wire attached to the P2 terminal, turn the switch to the highest temperature setting, then check across the empty P2 terminal and terminal 4 (brown/black wire) then test between P2 terminal and terminal 4A(brown/white) wire. Both test should have "closed" circuits on the meter, if not the switch is at fault. If both tests have "closed" circuits then the element W10823692 is at fault or there's a broken wire between the switch and element. Read More...
Michelle April 15, 2013 for Model Number GERC4110SB0 Both my front dual burners are acting up. Sometimes work fine and other times only work on high. Sometimes they turn on and then shut off. I have read through the other inquiries and would like to find out more how to test the switch with the Mulit metre?
1 Answer Michelle, The test points on the switch are H1 to H2. There should be a steady 240 vac except when the element cycles off. Read More...
Benny April 15, 2013 for Model Number RF362LXTS 2 I need help hooking up the new infinite switch for the front left dual burner. The person I bought the stove from had it hooked upwrong.
1 Answer Hello Benny. P2 is Black, S1 is Black, 4A is Orange/White, 4 Is Orange/Black, and S2 is Violet. Read More...
Cheryl April 06, 2013 for Model Number RF367LXSY0 Hi, both burners on the right side of my electric range are giving problems. The single burner does not heat at all. The dual burner burns on dual high regardless of how the burner knob is set. I'm thinking the dual burner may need a control switch but i'm not sure about the single burner. The elements on both burners and the connections look good. Thanks for your help.
1 Answer Cheryl, You're on track, you most likely need both switches WP9758060 the single element and WP3149404 dual element switch. The dual element switch has a "stuck" contact and the single element switch has a contact that wont close. Read More...
Anthony January 11, 2013 for Model Number GR563LXST 1 The right front burner element seems to be stuck on max heat whether or not we have the dial on low or high. This is a dual burner which accommodates both smaller and larger pots/pans. This condition occurs using the single or dual cooking mode.
1 Answer Hello Anthony, This issue sounds like it would be the switch WP9758060 that is the problem and would need to be changed out. Read More...
Andre R September 24, 2012 for Model Number YKESC308LS0 I have the dual element with only the outside one working. I saw from your other questions that the same happened to another customer of yours. Your answer said that you suggest testing the Infinite Control switch. Can you send me the same instructions on how to test to see if this is the defective part. Thanks, Andre
1 Answer Hello Andre. You will test across 2 and 4a and 2 to 4 on the switch for 240 volts. If not there, replace the switch. If there, 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...
Bubs December 02, 2011 for Model Number GR448LXPT I ordered a dual element infinite sw. pn9758060 and want to check with multimeter before installing. I have instructions from an earlier model whirlpool dual element infinite sw but do not seem to be getting the right measurements. Please instruct. Thanks for your time and hopefully your answer.
1 Answer Hello Buds. With the switch WP9758060 on, P1&P2, S1&S2, and 4&4A should read closed across the terminals. With the switch off, they will be open. Hope this helps. Read More...
