For Whirlpool Range Surface Element Switch (Part Number: OEM18023007)

Sal, A model number would've been more helpful, but. Both switches WP3149400 / 3149400 and WP3148953 / 3148953 are for 8" burners, the difference is the WP3148953 has a 3/4 - 5/8 in. long shaft and the WP3149400 has a 7/8 - 1" long shaft. Measure the shaft length of the original switch to determine which switch you need. Thanks,

Hello Steve, This can be due to a failed infinite switch or a harness issue. You will need to pull the tech sheet and get out your test meter to determine the issue. A failed infinite switch will show continuity when turned off. During testing the switches, be sure to tap on them since it is an intermittent issue. It is not as common but possible to have a shorted limiter in one of the surface element limiters. The part numbers for these issues are determined by which surface element is exhibiting the symptoms.
