Range Surface Burner Control Switch (Infinite Switch)

Restore precise temperature control to your stovetop with this Genuine OEM Infinite Switch. This component (Part # 316436000) acts as the main regulator for a surface heating element, cycling the burner on and off to maintain your selected heat setting. If your burner gets stuck on maximum heat (regardless of the knob setting) or refuses to turn on at all, the internal electrical contacts inside this switch have likely welded together or burnt out.

Manufactured by Electrolux, this factory-certified replacement is calibrated to exact amperage specifications to prevent runaway heating and ensure your control knobs line up accurately with the heat indicators.

Quick Info:

• Compatibility: Precision fit for Frigidaire, Kenmore, Electrolux, Crosley, Tappan, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Westinghouse electric ranges.

• Fixes Common Issues: Resolves burners stuck on high heat, elements that won’t turn on, and erratic or intermittent heating.

• Durability: Built with heavy-duty internal contacts to handle repeated high-voltage cycling.

• Difficulty: Intermediate. Requires removing the rear console panel to access and swap the electrical connections.

Pro Tip: Because range switches manage high-amperage lines, they feature a specific wiring configuration labeled with terminal codes (such as L1, L2, H1, H2, and P). Before unplugging the old switch, take a clear photo of the wiring layout. Transfer the wires to the new switch one by one using needle-nose pliers to ensure no circuits are crossed.

Safety First: You must completely unplug the range or shut off the main house circuit breaker before starting this repair. The infinite switch handles 240-volt power, making complete electrical isolation critical for your safety.
