Function & Importance
The surface element switch controls the amount of power delivered to the heating element, allowing you to adjust burner temperature from low simmer to high heat. When functioning properly, the switch ensures smooth temperature transitions and consistent cooking results. A faulty or worn switch can cause burners to overheat, fail to heat, or cycle unpredictably—making cooking inefficient and potentially unsafe. Replacing the switch restores full control and dependable operation of your range.
