Cr286bse Parts

The infinite switch is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool cooktops. Located inside the panel it helps monitor temperature and functions through sensing heating elements and bake cycles. Precise cooking depends on its calibrated feedback.

Causes of a faulty cooktop interface switch include wire damage from heat exposure, excess baked-on residue insulating contacts, or repeated temperature fluctuations degrading components.

Symptoms include:

• Inability to preheat or maintain set cooking temperatures
• Failure to advance cycles or randomly turning off
• Error messages flashing on the control panel

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This factory screw secures appliance components to their mounting points. Replace missing, worn, or stripped hardware to restore a tight fit, proper alignment, and quieter operation across the affected assembly.

• Fastens panels, brackets, covers, or internal parts to the chassis or frame
• Helps maintain alignment and support, reducing rattle, vibration, or looseness
• Replaces missing or damaged screws that have backed out, broken, or stripped
• Restores secure mounting after service when original hardware is lost

• Disconnect power; shut off water or gas supplies before servicing
• Use the correct driver; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Match length and thread to the original location; do not substitute with longer hardware
• Tighten snugly; do not overtighten into plastic or thin metal

This terminal block provides an insulated, secure junction for incoming power or harness leads inside the appliance. Replacing a cracked, loose, or heat-damaged block restores a safe, reliable connection and helps prevent arcing or intermittent power.

• Creates a fixed, insulated junction between external supply wires and internal appliance wiring
• Maintains tight screw-lug connections to minimize resistance and heat buildup
• Helps ensure steady power delivery to controls, motors, and heaters
• Common indicators of failure: melted/discolored block, burning odor, visible arcing, loose or stripped terminals, intermittent or no power

• Disconnect power at the breaker and verify zero voltage before servicing
• Photograph/label wire positions; transfer one lead at a time to the new block
• Tighten terminal screws firmly; do not overtighten into the insulator
• Inspect wire ends/ring terminals and strain relief; replace any heat-damaged components per the service information

Restore dependable heat to your indoor grill module with this electric grill element. Replacing a worn or failed element brings back even cooking and consistent searing performance on compatible grill cartridges. What it does:

• Converts electrical power into radiant heat for indoor grilling
• Delivers even heat distribution across the grill area when functioning properly
• Common fix when the grill won't heat, heats slowly, or has cold spots
• Replace if the coil is cracked, blistered, or visibly damaged

• 1 electric grill heating element

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the unit; allow all components to cool completely
• Remove grill grates and any shields or pans to access the element
• Lift the element straight up to disengage from the terminal block; avoid bending terminals and transfer any reusable clips/brackets if present
• Seat the new element fully in the terminals; verify secure connections before reassembly and testing

Color: black. It measures about 1 inch in diameter.

Replacement infinite-switch control knob that restores reliable heat selection on electric cooktops and ranges. Push-on design lets you set burner heat levels precisely and replaces cracked, faded, or missing knobs. What it does:

• Turns the infinite switch to select burner heat level and set cooking temperatures.
• Restores a secure grip and tactile detents when the original knob is cracked, worn, or missing.
• Helps when a knob spins, slips, or won't stay set on a chosen heat setting.
• Works with push-on style infinite switch shafts commonly used on electric ranges and cooktops.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Typically installs by pulling the old knob straight off the control shaft and pushing the new knob onto the shaft until seated.
• Inspect the switch shaft for wear or damage; a stripped shaft may require replacing the infinite switch rather than the knob.
• If the knob is tight to remove, use a firm, even pull or a suitable knob-puller tool; avoid excessive prying that could damage the control panel.

This is a replacement 6-32 x 3/8" screw used to secure panels and components on compatible Whirlpool appliances. It restores proper fastening for loose or missing fasteners so parts stay aligned and stable. What it does:

• Secures trim, panels, brackets or small components to the appliance frame
• Stops rattling or movement caused by a missing or stripped screw
• Helps maintain proper alignment of control panels and access panels
• Provides the correct thread engagement for safe, stable fastening

• One replacement screw (6-32 x 3/8")

• Disconnect power before accessing internal components
• Use the correct screwdriver or nut driver to avoid stripping the head
• Thread carefully and do not overtighten to prevent damage to threads or components
• Keep removed hardware organized and compare sizes before installation

This speed nut is a stamped metal retaining clip designed to hold screws or fasteners securely to appliance panels and trim. It provides a simple, vibration-resistant connection that keeps covers and components in place. What it does:

• Secures screws to thin sheet metal or panel edges where a threaded hole isn't available
• Provides a firm, vibration-resistant attachment for panels, trim, or small components
• Helps prevent screws from loosening or backing out during normal use
• Commonly used where a captive nut or clip is required for assembly or repair

• One speed nut / retaining clip

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before starting any repair
• Position the clip over the panel edge or hole so the screw can engage the clip's thread; press or tap gently until seated
• Use the correct screw size and avoid over-tightening to prevent deforming the clip or striping threads
• Wear gloves and eye protection when handling sharp sheet metal edges
