Microwave Switch Surface Element Parts

This infinite surface element switch controls heat levels for an electric cooktop burner, restoring reliable temperature adjustment and preventing stuck or unresponsive burner settings. Designed to replace a worn or faulty burner control switch. What it does:

• Regulates current to a single electric surface element so you can vary burner heat smoothly from low to high
• Replaces a switch that causes burners to be stuck on one setting, not heat properly, or not respond to knob adjustments
• Maintains proper connection between the control knob and the cooktop element
• Works with standard mechanical knob-style cooktop controls

• One surface element infinite switch

• Disconnect power at the breaker before accessing the cooktop; electric shock hazard if not powered off
• Access usually requires removing the cooktop or control panel—support for the top while removing screws is recommended
• Verify terminal layout and mounting orientation match the original part before final assembly

This solenoid is an electromechanical actuator used to control a valve or latch assembly, restoring on/off movement when the component no longer responds. It provides a direct replacement to restore proper mechanical action. What it does:

• Converts electrical signal into linear motion to open or close a valve, latch, or dispenser mechanism
• Commonly fails when the appliance won't actuate a valve or release a latch
• Symptoms include no response, intermittent operation, humming or clicking without movement
• Replacing the solenoid often resolves failed actuation or stuck mechanisms

• One solenoid

• Disconnect power (and water supply if applicable) before starting work
• Handle electrical terminals and connectors carefully; avoid bending pins
