The Range Infinite Control Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. This switch is used to control the heat levels of the surface burners, allowing for precise temperature adjustments. It works by regulating the electrical current that flows to the burner elements, enabling users to set the burners to their desired heat setting from low to high.
Symptoms of a failing Range Infinite Control Switch include:
- The burner not heating up or getting too hot regardless of the setting
- Inconsistent or fluctuating heat levels
- The control knob feeling loose or not turning smoothly
- The burner not turning on or off properly
- Electrical sparking or unusual noises from the control switch area
Causes of a bad infinite control switch can include wear and tear from regular use, internal electrical failures, damage from overheating, or mechanical issues within the switch mechanism.
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with some models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
