Function & Importance

The range infinite switch regulates power delivery to the surface heating element, allowing you to adjust burner temperature smoothly from low to high. Unlike simple on/off switches, an infinite switch cycles electricity to maintain consistent heat levels based on the selected setting. This precise control is essential for everyday cooking tasks such as simmering, frying, boiling, and sautéing. A malfunctioning infinite switch can lead to poor temperature control, overheating, or burners that fail to turn on altogether.

Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement

If your range shows any of the following issues, the W11162115 infinite switch may need replacement:

• Surface element stuck on high heat

• Burner will not heat or does not respond to control knob adjustments

• Inconsistent or fluctuating temperatures

• Burner turns on without user input

• Knob feels loose, damaged, or does not click properly

• Burning smell or visible electrical damage behind the control panel

These symptoms indicate a failing surface element control switch, which can affect cooking performance and safety.
