Description

This dual infinite switch controls heat output for a stove surface element, restoring reliable temperature selection and consistent cooking performance. It replaces a faulty control on compatible electric ranges. What it does:

• Regulates power to a surface burner so heat changes smoothly across settings
• Allows selection of low, medium and high heat via the front knob
• Commonly replaces switches that cause burners to stay cold, not heat evenly, or skip settings
• Works with dual-element (inner/outer) surface burners to manage both elements

What's included:

• One infinite switch (dual-element style)

Install notes:

• Disconnect power at the breaker before starting; verify power is off
• Handle glass-ceramic cooktops carefully to avoid cracks or chips
• Match terminal layout and orientation before connecting wires; secure all spade terminals
• Test burner function after installation and reassemble cooktop components
