Whirlpool WPY700854 Top Burner Control Knob OEM Part

1) I installed 4 ea new Whirlpool 700855K switches. (The old switches had INF-240P-871 stamped on them. 700855K was the cross-referenced P/N.) The installation was easy. There is slight difference in the terminal arrangement: 1) the old switch has raised terminals whereas the new switch has recessed terminals (for safety), and 2) the terminal markings are slightly different: The old switch has L1/L2/P/H1/H2 (5 terminals). The new switch has L1/L2/P/HC/H1(Also five terminals. I saw where one poster said there were 6 terminals on the new switch vs 5 on the old. There are indeed 6 male spade terminals on the new switch, but the terminal for L1 has two spades jumped together; thus only one terminal for L1. Only one of the spades needs to be used.) The connection is as follows (old to new): L1 to L1, L2 to L2, P to P, H1 to HC, and H2 to H1. I advise to 'tighten' the connections by very slightly crimping the female spades before pushing onto the switch male terminals. This will make a better connection. If the females are in bad shape they should be renewed. Mine were all OK, so I crimped a little as mentioned. After completion all 4 switches control their respective burners correctly. 2) I also replaced the four knobs w/ Whirlpool P/N WPY700854. The old knobs' numbers had worn off. They fit OK but slightly loose; I put a turn or two of aluminum foil on the switch shafts to give a tighter fit. Then they were fine. All in all a pretty easy job, and well worth it. The burners all work fine now.

There were two different knob tpes. Searched your web site, asked some questions, got correct knobs. They were easily changed.

Got new parts fro a 30 years old and it and they were a perfect fit and replacement . all the detail was original .

I ordered two knobs, they arrived in a couple of days, I replaced the old knobs with the new ones. A perfect fit. Very satisfied with the speediest service for the correct parts. Thank you.

Replaced terminal block and other cosmetic parts.
