Burner Infinite Switch WP3149400 Whirlpool Range

The Surface Element Switch is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ranges. The large surface element switch is responsible for regulating the temperature of the heating element. When the switch is turned on, it sends power to the element. The switch then regulates the temperature by cycling the power on and off, maintaining the desired temperature for cooking.

• The burner not heating to the set temperature
• Inability to adjust the heat level of the burner
• The burner heating intermittently or not at all
• An electrical burning smell when the burner is turned on
