Range Surface Burner Control Switch (Infinite Switch)

Restore reliable temperature management to your cooktop with this Genuine OEM Infinite Switch. This component (Part # 316436001) regulates the electrical current sent to your surface heating element, cycling the burner on and off to maintain the exact heat level you select on your control knob. If your burner stays stuck on blistering high heat no matter where you turn the dial, or if it refuses to warm up at all, the internal contacts of this switch have reached the end of their lifespan.

Manufactured by Electrolux, this factory-certified switch is calibrated to stringent engineering standards. This ensures precise thermal cycling, preventing the accidental scorching of delicate sauces while providing the full power needed for rapid boiling.

Quick Info:

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

• Fixes Common Issues: Resolves “runaway” heat (stuck on high), elements that won’t turn on, and erratic or inconsistent cooking temperatures.

• Durability: Features reinforced, heat-resistant housing and heavy-duty internal contacts to handle continuous high-amperage switching.

• Difficulty: Intermediate. Requires removing the rear console panel or front control lip to swap the part.

Pro Tip: Infinite switches are labeled with specific terminal letters (such as L1, L2, H1, H2, and P) representing power lines, heating lines, and pilot light indicators. Before removing any wires from your faulty switch, take a high-resolution photo of the back. Use needle-nose pliers to transfer the spade connectors to the new switch one terminal at a time to guarantee your wiring configuration matches perfectly.

Safety First: You must completely unplug the range or turn off the main house circuit breaker before attempting this repair. Stovetop switches manage high-voltage (240V) electricity, making absolute power isolation critical for your safety.
