Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Infinite Control Switch (Part Number: OEM18022980)

1 Answer

Tony, this would indicate a failure in the infinite switch of that particular burner and it would need to be replaced.

Three out of four of our Whirlpool electric stove burners are unreliable, rarely heating to the selected setting, and burning too many meals. We replaced one infinite switch on a 6 inch burner but it still doesn't work properly. Maybe it's the wrong part? The part says it's for the 8 inch range element. I think I messed that one up ordering the wrong part earlier this year. Anyway, we need new infinite switches for a 10 inch (which has a simmer switch also that I never use), and two 6 inch burners. I don't know what to order. Please help. Thank you.

Howard, Using a multimeter, take the back panel off the range and access the switches. Turn the switch that you think is defective on and test from the H1 to the H2 (should be the same color wires) and see if there is 240 Vac at that point. If there is then the switch is good and either the wiring or the element is faulty. If there is not then the switch is faulty and would need to be replaced.
