This safety thermostat monitors internal temperature and opens the circuit if the appliance overheats. Replacing a failed high-limit thermostat restores heat and helps protect controls, wiring, and nearby components from thermal damage. What it does:

• Monitors temperature and interrupts power to the heating circuit if an unsafe temperature is reached
• Helps prevent overheating damage to internal components
• When failed open, can cause no heat or cause the unit to shut off during high-heat operation
• At room temperature it should read closed/continuous; an open reading indicates replacement is needed

• 1 high-limit thermostat

• Disconnect power at the breaker (and shut off gas supply if applicable) before servicing
• Access location varies by model; commonly mounted to the oven cavity, plenum, or rear panel
• Transfer wires one at a time and mount the thermostat flush to its surface or bracket
• After replacement, verify proper airflow/cooling and address any root causes of overheating

This dual infinite switch controls power to a dual radiant surface element, providing smooth, adjustable heat for the inner ring or both rings of the burner. Replace a worn switch to restore precise temperature control and consistent performance.

• Regulates voltage to the surface element for variable heat levels
• Selects inner-only or dual-ring operation as designed by the control
• Common symptoms of a failed switch: no heat, stuck on high, uneven or unresponsive temperature, only one ring heats
• Helps restore reliable low-to-high settings on the dual burner

• Disconnect electrical power at the breaker before servicing
• Remove the control/back panel and knob to access the switch
• Photograph wiring and transfer leads one at a time to matching terminals on the new switch
• Secure the switch, reassemble panels/knob, restore power, and test both single- and dual-ring settings

This Hiper-style top burner infinite switch regulates power to a surface element on your range or cooktop. Replacing a worn switch restores smooth, accurate heat selection across all settings.

• Regulates electrical power to the surface/radiant element based on the knob setting
• Cycles the element on and off to maintain steady heat from low to high
• Common failure symptoms include: no heat, only high heat, erratic temperatures, or no response when turning the control

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Remove the burner knob and access the switch from the control panel area
• Photograph wiring and transfer wires one at a time to matching terminals on the new switch
• Secure the switch, reassemble panels, restore power, and test the burner through all settings

A replacement gasket that seals the infinite (surface) control switch to the cooktop or console, helping keep moisture, grease and debris out of the switch area for cleaner operation and a better seal. What it does

• Seals the infinite switch to the panel to help prevent liquid and food intrusion into the switch housing.
• Cushions and stabilizes the switch for a firmer knob fit and reduced vibration.
• Helps protect the switch contacts from contamination that can cause intermittent control behavior.
• Use when the existing gasket is cracked, flattened, missing, or allowing spills into the controls.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Remove the control knob and access the infinite switch per your model's service instructions.
• Seat the gasket fully around the switch housing so it lies flat against the console; replace if damaged or compressed.
• Inspect the switch and wiring while replacing the gasket; replace the switch if there is visible damage.

This is a surface burner control knob for electric cooktops. It replaces a worn or broken knob so you can accurately turn the burner switch to the desired heat setting and restore a matched look on the cooktop.

• Attaches to the surface burner (infinite) switch shaft to set heat level
• Helps when a knob is cracked, stripped, loose, hard to turn, or missing
• Restores positive engagement and clear pointer alignment for temperature selection

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Pull the old knob straight off the switch shaft; align flat/"D" shape and press the new knob on
• If the knob does not seat, inspect the switch stem for damage or mismatch
• Test each position for smooth rotation and proper detent feel before use

Replacement infinite switch that restores variable heat control for a surface heating element on an electric range, letting you adjust burner temperature smoothly and accurately. What it does:

• Regulates power to a surface heating element so the burner produces the selected heat level.
