Description
This infinite switch controls the heat level for a stove's top burner, letting the burner cycle through a range of settings for precise cooking. Replaces a failed burner control to restore adjustable heat on the cooktop. What it does:
- Regulates electrical power to a single top burner to change flame/heat between low and high settings
- Replaces a worn or faulty control that causes burners to stay off, not heat, or only work on fixed settings
- Helps resolve intermittent or unresponsive burner control behavior and uneven heating
- Matches OEM function for electronic/mechanical infinite control circuits used on many electric ranges
What's included: One infinite switch (top burner control) — quantity: 1 Install notes:
- Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electric shock
- Access typically requires removing the cooktop or control panel
- Inspect wiring and terminal connectors for damage; replace any frayed wires or loose terminals before reassembly
