Description

Replacement infinite switch that restores variable heat control for a surface heating element on an electric range, letting you adjust burner temperature smoothly and accurately. What it does:

• Regulates power to a surface heating element so the burner produces the selected heat level.
• Replaces a failed or worn rotary control that no longer changes element output.
• Common symptoms: burner won't heat, only heats at one setting, temperature jumps or fluctuates, or knob turns with no effect.
• Fits behind the console and connects to existing element wiring and control knob.

What's included: One infinite switch. Install notes:

• Disconnect the appliance power before removing the console or control panel to avoid electrical shock.
• Confirm wire locations and take a photo before disconnecting to ensure correct reconnection.
• Secure the switch in place and reconnect wires firmly; test all settings after reassembly.
