  • Helps ensure the appliance responds to the temperature setting selected on the control panel
  • Common symptoms: only one temperature works, temperature won't change with the knob, selector feels loose or won't "click," intermittent temperature selection
  • Typical causes include worn internal contacts or a damaged switch shaft
What's included: 1 temperature selector switch Install notes:
  • Disconnect power before servicing
  • Access the control console; remove the knob and retainers to free the switch
  • Photograph or label wire positions, then transfer connectors to the new switch one at a time
  • Secure the switch, reinstall the knob/panel, restore power, and test temperature selection

Hello Paul, I'm sorry but we do not have a video on this part at this time. The steps you listed are correct if you add disconnecting the wires one at a time and connect them to the new switch as you go so they do not become crossed.

Hello Jacob. Very easy to replace the switch. Pull the knob off the switch. Then unplug the unit and remove the back cover from the control panel. Next release the locking tab and twist the switch to remove it. Unplug the wires to the switch. Install new switch in reverse order.

V.P. If the temperature switch shaft has broken off then the switch W11103599 would need to be replaced as the shaft is not a separate part.

Hello Bosspa. The temperature switch W11103599 is located on the control panel of the unit. If you look at the timer on the left, it is the next switch over to the right side. You will need to access the back side of the control panel to access and replace the part. Hope this helps.
