WPW10441696 Whirlpool Surface Element Control Switch for Ranges and Ovens

Surface Element Control Switch for Ranges and Ovens.

Whirlpool manufactures a range of products under various brand names including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Infinite Switch, a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, is specifically designed for use in Whirlpool ranges and cooktops. It plays a crucial role in managing burner heat, offering users the ability to finely tune the temperature from low to high seamlessly.

Common issues with the Infinite Switch usually relate to electrical faults. These can include deterioration of contacts or failure of internal components.

Indicators of a failing Infinite Switch are:

- The burner fails to heat or maintains a constant temperature regardless of adjustments.
- The burner heats sporadically or does not activate.
- Temperature control becomes erratic, which can interfere with cooking consistency.

This OEM part is also suitable for use with several other brands including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and select Kenmore models.
