Whirlpool Range WLP34200 Element will not heat

This infinite surface element switch controls variable heat for a cooktop burner, restoring smooth temperature adjustment and reliable element power. Designed to match OEM fit and function for compatible Whirlpool-range cooktops. What it does:

• Regulates burner output with infinite (continuously variable) settings for precise heat control.
• Replaces a worn or failed surface element switch that causes a burner to stay stuck at one setting or not change heat levels.
• Restores proper on/off and variable power behavior when burner temperatures are erratic or unresponsive.
• Works with the corresponding surface element and control knob to deliver consistent cooking performance.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Handle internal wiring carefully; match wire terminals exactly when replacing the switch.
• If mounting screws, brackets, or cutouts are damaged, inspect and replace as needed.
