Description

This infinite switch is the user control for an electric cooktop surface element, letting you select variable heat settings for cooking. Replaces a failed control to restore responsive temperature adjustments. What it does:

• Regulates power to a surface heating element so the burner cycles through low to high heat settings
• Helps fix burners that won't heat, only work on certain settings, or don't change temperature smoothly
• Provides a direct replacement for a worn or intermittent burner control that causes inconsistent cooking
• Works with ranges that use a separate infinite-style selector for each top burner

What's included:

• One infinite switch

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the range at the breaker before servicing to avoid shock risk
• Access usually requires removing the back console or cooktop—refer to your model's service manual for instructions
• Handle terminals carefully; ensure correct wiring and secure connections before testing
