Frigidaire / Electrolux Range Large surface element switch 318293831

Genuine OEM large surface-element control switch, also called an infinite switch or burner control switch. Controls the heat level of a large surface element; documented specifications include 240 volts and approximately 2,136–2,640 watts.

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Large surface element remains on or heats continuously when set to a low setting.
• Large surface element temperature is erratic or does not respond normally to the control knob.
• Large surface element produces little or no heat.
• Burner-control operation may be accompanied by a burning smell if switch contacts have overheated.

Check Before Replacing

• Turn all controls off and allow the cooktop and element to cool completely.
• Confirm the problem is limited to the large surface element and that other surface elements operate normally.
• If the range uses removable coil elements, with power disconnected, verify the affected element is seated correctly and compare it with a same-size element if the appliance design permits.
• If the element remains energized with its control set to OFF, stop using the range and have the switch and associated wiring inspected; these symptoms do not by themselves prove the switch is defective.
