Part Details

Installation Notes

• Turn off power to the range
• – Switch off the circuit breaker for the range (typically 40–50 amp double breaker). Verify power is off by confirming no burners, display, clock, or oven light work.
• Pull range away from wall
• – Give yourself room to work behind and around the unit safely.
• Remove control knobs
• – Pull the control knobs straight off the shafts. Note or photograph which knob goes to which burner position for correct reinstallation.
• Remove the control panel back cover:
• Access the back of the control panel by removing screws from the rear panel at the top back of the range.Some models require lifting the cooktop first (release clips at front corners with a putty knife, prop up with support rod).On some models, the control panel tilts forward after removing mounting screws at the top edges.
• Locate the faulty infinite switch
• – Identify the switch that corresponds to the non-working burner. Switches are mounted behind the control panel with shafts extending through for the knobs. Match the burner position to the switch position.
• Take a photo of wiring
• – Document all wire connections to the switch before disconnecting. Label wires with tape if helpful — this is critical for correct reinstallation.
• Disconnect wires from the switch
• – Pull the spade connectors straight off the switch terminals. Grip the metal connector firmly, not the wires themselves. If connectors are melted, corroded, or damaged, replace them with new crimp-on spade connectors (available at hardware stores).
• Remove the mounting bracket screws
• – Remove the screws (usually 2) securing the switch to the control panel mounting bracket.
• Remove the old switch
• – Slide or pull the failed infinite switch out of its mounting position.
• Compare old and new switches
• – Verify the new EBF62174904 switch has the same terminal configuration, shaft style, and mounting hole pattern as the old one before proceeding.
• Install the new switch:
• Position the new switch with the shaft extending through the control panel hole.Secure with mounting screws — snug but do not overtighten.
• Reconnect wires
• – Attach each wire connector to the correct terminal on the new switch, matching your photo exactly. Terminals are often labeled (H1, H2, L1, L2, P, N, or similar). Ensure firm, fully-seated connections — loose connections cause arcing and premature failure.
• Inspect adjacent connections
• – While the panel is open, check wire connections on nearby switches for signs of heat damage, discoloration, melting, or corrosion. Address any issues found.
• Reassemble control panel
• – Replace the back cover and secure with screws. Lower cooktop if raised.
• Reinstall control knobs
• – Push the knobs onto the switch shafts, aligning the D-shape or splines correctly. Knobs should sit flush against the panel and turn smoothly with positive detents.
• Restore power
• – Turn the circuit breaker back on.
• Test the burner thoroughly:
• Turn the repaired burner to LOW — element should warm gradually and cycle on/off (you may hear faint clicking as it cycles).Turn to MEDIUM — element should be hotter with longer on-cycles.Turn to HIGH — element should glow red/orange continuously.Verify indicator light illuminates when burner is on (if equipped).Turn to OFF — element should stop glowing and indicator light should turn off within a few seconds.Let element cool and verify it stays off.
