Whirlpool Range YKERS507HB3 Element will not heat

This infinite switch controls the variable heat settings for a cooktop surface burner so you can adjust cooking temperature smoothly and restore proper burner operation. What it does:

• Regulates power to a surface heating element so burners heat at selected settings
• Replaces a worn or failed control that causes burners to stay off or not heat properly
• Fixes burners that only work on one setting or won't respond to the knob
• Helps eliminate inconsistent or fluctuating burner temperatures

• Disconnect power to the range before starting any work to avoid electrical shock
• Accessible from the cooktop or back panel depending on model; remove panels carefully
• Note wire locations or take a photo before disconnecting; reconnect wires to matching terminals
