Surface Element Switch WPW10434447

This dual infinite surface element switch regulates the heat output of an electric cooktop burner by controlling the voltage supplied to the heating element, allowing smooth adjustment from low simmering to high-heat cooking. Designed to power burners with both an inner and outer heating ring, it lets you select either the smaller inner ring for everyday use or both rings when additional cooking surface and heat are needed. Rated for 15 amps at 240 volts, this switch helps maintain consistent temperature performance. Replacing a worn switch can resolve issues such as a burner that won’t heat, heats inconsistently, responds unpredictably to knob adjustments, or shows signs of electrical problems like buzzing or intermittent power. Installation typically involves disconnecting the appliance from power, accessing the control panel, and transferring the wiring to the new switch.
