Rodney S Kuttawa , KY August 17, 2014 Appliance: Whirlpool Electric Built- In Cooktop GJC3034GB0 Failed dual element switch on whirlpool ceramic cooktop model #gjc3034gb0 This cooktop has a dual element with an inner burner surrounded by an outer burner. The switch controls either the inner burner alone or both. The switch failed in that it would not operate the inner burner by itself, both burners would come on and only on high. On 8/14/2014 I replaced the failed dual element switch as follows: • Turned power off to cooktop. • Removed unit from cabinet. • Removed metal edging and glass top. • Removed screws holding switch panel access underside. • Removed old switch from panel but left wires on. • Reconnected wires to new switch according to instructions. • Attached new switch to panel and reinstalled panel. • Made sure heating elements were still in correct position. • Re-installed glass top and edging and dropped unit in opening. • Tested switch. Functioned normally. I ordered the switch around noon and it arrived the next day before noon. Excellent service.

Robert C Marion , NC February 12, 2017 Appliance: Whirlpool Electric Built- In Cooktop GJC3034GB0 The large 9" dual burner on a flat cooktop would always heat on both burners no matter the setting Installed a new infinite Switch. Everyone needs to be aware this Switch is not a "plug and play"; it requires you to use two jumper wires that come with the Switch. The instructions are quite good; just take good notes of where you take the wires off from. The old Switch had numbers; whereas the new Switch has letters.

Loomis G St Petersburg , FL March 22, 2015 Appliance: KitchenAid Electric Cooktop KECC560BBL2 Heating element would not come on Tripped circuit breaker. Disconnected hard wiring under cabinet. Lifted cooktop and carried out to workbench. Removed screws holding glass top and lifted off. Removed screws holding bottom case. Removed two screws holding switch in place. Turned the element section over and removed the old switch and replaced with the new. My problem: The numbers on the new switch are placed such that they do not exactly indicate which connection goes where. An instruction sheet comes with the new switch correlating the old numbers to the new. My old switch, you guessed it, did not match those number in the instructions. Went to the other dual element switch and, with some difficulty, figured out how to hook it up. Dropped back in cabinet, tested, working fine! Read More...
