Whirlpool Cooktop Switches

Popular Whirlpool Cooktop Switches

This surface burner switch is a genuine replacement component designed to regulate the heat output of the left front burner on select electric ranges. It functions by cycling electrical power to the burner, maintaining the desired temperature throughout cooking. A faulty switch may result in overheating, lack of heat, or the burner remaining at a single temperature setting. Replacing this part restores precise temperature control and ensures safe, consistent operation. Installation should be performed with the appliance disconnected from power, and may require basic tools and reference to model-specific instructions.

Looked up the part in the online manual, watched a YouTube video, removed upper back of range, swapped out part. Saved $200!!
This infinite switch is for 8-inch range burners. When an element is unable to produce any heat on a modern oven, the problem may lie with the infinite switch. This switch is responsible for sending power to the surface elements. Check the element and terminal block to ensure they are working properly. If they are in working order, check the infinite switch at the control panel for any wires that have overheated, or broken terminals to or from the infinite switch. If the infinite switch is damaged or malfunctioning, it will need to be replaced. Remember to unplug your range before beginning this repair.

This dual surface element control switch is a genuine OEM replacement part designed to fit select models of stoves, ovens, and ranges. The control switch is an essential component that allows you to turn the surface element on and off, as well as regulate the amount of heat the element produces. If your stove’s surface element isn’t heating properly, fluctuates in temperature, or won’t turn off, replacing the control switch can restore full functionality. Before installation, ensure the range is unplugged, or disconnect the power at the house circuit breaker to avoid electrical hazards. The surface element control switch is usually located behind the stove’s front control panel. To install, remove the panel and disconnect the old switch from the wiring harness. Install the new switch by securing it in place and reconnecting the wiring to match the original configuration. After installation, turn the power back on and test the surface element to verify it operates correctly.

The right front dual burner went to high no matter the setting
I located the model number. Then searched the problem on YouTube. I saw that it was most likely the infinite switch and was an easy fix, so I ordered the part from this site and replaced it following the directions on the video. It's now as good as new!
This surface burner switch, also known as an infinite switch, controls and regulates the heat output of the burners on a stovetop. The user simply adjusts the knob on the user interface panel, which in turn controls this switch. Made for various ranges, wall ovens and cooktops, this is a genuine OEM part that comes by itself, without any hardware like screws or nuts. This burner switch is an electrical component that you also handle directly, so it can become faulty leading to problems like your stovetop not heating enough, overheating or staying at a fixed heat. This burner switch is a vital component for your stovetop and if it presents any of those issues, it needs to be replaced immediately. A screwdriver, set of pliers and wiring diagram will be needed for the replacement and installation process, and you will need to remove your appliance from the wall outlet first. Remove the knobs from the control panel and then gain access to the underneath portion of it with your screwdriver and disconnect the switch. Remove the wires from the burner switch with a set of pliers and disconnect the securing screws holding the switch in place. Now, you can install the new switch and reassemble the panel, being mindful of wiring each connector to the appropriate wire.

Installation Instructions
James H from Oxford, NY
Burner had one temperature--hot, regardless of setting
1. Killed power and removed the regulator's knob, noted the position of the old control.
2. Took off the cover for the center vent and loosened the two screw holding the housing in place--the screws didn't have to come out completely as it is a U-shaped friction hold.
3. Unscrewed the two screws holding the old control switch in place--lifted the housing enough to get at the old switch and carefully pulled it loose--it was a front burner so the control switch was about as far back as it could be but still wasn't that hard to get at.
4. Turned the new switch to orient the wire connectors, then, using a needle-nose pliers, removed each friction connector, one at a time, and fitted them on the new switch (note: one of the wires fitted best if it went under as opposed to around the base of the new switch).
5. Replaced the control back through the housing and screwed it in place, making sure the orientation of the control matched the way it looked originally.
6. Slide the housing back over the two screws and tightened, replace vent.
7. Replaced the knob and turned on the power.

(The above took me about twice as long to write as it did to make the repair and I write professionally but am not a professional electrician.)

Also, I bought a second control switch because, given the age of the unit, I'm sure another one will go. The second one will assure that it won't happen :-).

Installation Instructions
Robert from Monroe, NJ
Burners were intermittently working.
It turns out that the 6" and 8" burners we actually broken and the infinite switch for the 8" burner was not working properly. These we very simple replacements. You just need to note the numbers on the original burners to make sure that you use the same numbers on the bottom of the burners so that they install in the same slots. The wires on the infinite switch match and this takes less than 5 minutes to remove the back of the stove top and the front switch handle. Simple replace the infinite switch and the burners and whoowhooo ,,.... the fix is done.
This surface element switch controls how much heat an electric burner makes. It turns power on and off in cycles as the knob moves from low to high. A burner that stays on high, will not heat, or heats at the wrong level may have a bad switch. Before replacing it, inspect the burner, wire ends, control knob, and nearby parts. Confirm fit with the full appliance model, terminal layout, and 15-amp, 240-volt rating. Turn off the breaker and verify that power is off. Move each wire one at a time before testing.

Installation Instructions
Daniel from WILLIAMSPORT, MD
Main burner was wide open even on low setting
First, turn the breaker off then unwire the power harness. Lift the unit out, it’s a little heavy. Lay it on a flat surface and remove approximately 10 screws with a 1/4 socket. Lift off ceramic top to expose elements and switches. There is a baffle on the right side by the switches, remove 3 screws and lift out, Your switches are now exposed, just remove 2 Phillips head screws and the switch will come out. Just switch the wiring connectors and reinstall switch. Reverse disassembly steps. Good luck!
