Quentin July 06, 2021 for Model Number KERI201PBS4 The cooktop "on" indicator stays on all the time. All 4 burners still work normally. When off no burners remain hot and burner indicator lights appear to be working normally. The indicator stayed on after using and turning off the front right burner. Some reports suggest it's the burner. Others suggest it's the infinity switch. I have a meter and can check test points but don't know what I'm looking to test to confirm what the issue is.
1 Answer Hello Quentin, This is normally caused by an infinite switch but can be caused by a failing limiter on a surface element. You can find out which elements circuit is causing the issue by removing the wires from all of the "P" terminals on the infinite switches. Make sure they cannot contact anything and power the unit back up. One at a time, touch the wires to the "P" terminals they were removed from. When the circuit causing the issue has the wire reconnected, the light will come on. You will either need to replace that infinite switch or the corresponding surface element. You can check the infinite switch with a resistance meter with the power to the unit OFF by testing from "P" to L1. With the switch in the off position, it should read open. With the switch turned on it should read 0 resistance. Read More...
Moose2red March 18, 2021 for Model Number wfe550sohw1 Left front burner goes off when using the burner.
1 Answer Moose2red, If the element is going off and staying off then you would want to test the infinite switch to see if there is power still going to the element and if the switch is cycling. If it is not then the switch will be faulty and if it is cycling power then the element would be the issue. Read More...
Ralph Horne, Jr. March 15, 2021 for Model Number ralphpat4239@gmail.com The oven does now work at all when the switch is turned to any position. it is a whirlpool model # RF111PXSQ.
1 Answer Ralph, With just the oven not working on any setting then this will most likely be caused by a faulty thermostat WP9762215. If nothing on the range is working then start at the power supply checking for 240 Vac, then to the terminal block because you are likely dropping voltage. Read More...

Ralph February 27, 2018 for Model Number AER5630BAS0 Would this switch work for a combination burner?? I need a switch for a burner that has large and small in one heating element. The burner comes on both large and small but only on high heat.
