General Electric Cooktop JP989BD2BB Element will not heat

The Infinite Control Switch is an OEM part for GE ranges and cooktops. This switch regulates the heat levels of the burners, allowing users to adjust the cooking temperature to their desired setting. It ensures that each burner provides consistent and controllable heat for precise cooking.

Causes of a bad infinite control switch can include regular wear and tear, electrical surges, or damage from spills and splashes. Over time, these factors can lead to the switch malfunctioning, which may result in poor temperature control or complete failure of the burner.

Symptoms of a bad infinite control switch include:

• The burner not heating up or heating inconsistently
• The burner staying on high heat regardless of the setting
• Difficulty adjusting the burner temperature
• The switch feeling loose or unresponsive

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This selector switch lets you choose the oven's operating mode from the front control knob. Replacing a worn switch restores reliable mode selection so power is routed correctly to the cooking function you select. What it does

• Connects the control knob to the proper circuit to engage the selected oven function
• Restores consistent operation when the oven won't start or won't stay in certain modes
• Addresses issues like only one function working or intermittent mode changes
• Helps when the knob turns but doesn't change functions or the selector shaft feels loose

• 1 selector switch

• Disconnect power at the breaker or fuse panel before servicing; allow the appliance to cool
• Pull off the control knob and remove the control panel/backguard to access the switch
• Move wires to the new switch one at a time, matching positions (take a photo or label leads)
• Secure the switch, reassemble, reinstall the knob, and test each oven function
