• Burner heats intermittently — cycles randomly
• Burner takes long time to heat up
• Burner overheats — gets too hot on low settings
• Clicking sound from switch but no heat
• Knob turns but nothing happens
• Burner works sometimes, not others
• Inconsistent heat output
• Burner indicator light not working

Check Before Replacing

• Test the surface element for continuity — a failed element produces the same symptoms as a failed switch
• Inspect wiring and terminals for burning, melting, or loose connections
• Verify the electrical supply is correct (240V for most electric ranges)
• Confirm the original switch number and burner position match EBF62174906

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 lights work.
• Pull range away from wall
• – Give yourself room to work behind and around the unit.
• Remove control knobs
• – Pull the control knobs straight off the shafts. Note which knob goes to which burner position for 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, prop up with support rod).On some models, the control panel tilts forward after removing mounting screws at the top.
• 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.
• Take a photo of wiring
• – Document all wire connections to the switch before disconnecting. Label wires if helpful — this is critical for correct reinstallation.
• Disconnect wires from the switch
• – Pull the spade connectors straight off the switch terminals. Grip the connectors firmly, not the wires themselves. If connectors are melted, corroded, or damaged, they should be replaced with new crimp-on spade connectors.
• 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 EBF62174906 switch has the same terminal configuration, shaft style, and mounting holes as the old one.
• Install the new switch:
• Position the new switch with the shaft extending through the control panel hole.Secure with mounting screws — do not overtighten.
• Reconnect wires
• – Attach each wire connector to the correct terminal on the new switch, matching your photo. Terminals are often labeled (H1, H2, L1, L2, P, N, or similar). Ensure firm, secure connections — loose connections cause arcing and premature failure.
• Inspect other connections
• – While the panel is open, check wire connections on adjacent switches for signs of heat damage, discoloration, or corrosion.
• 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 and turn smoothly.
• Restore power
• – Turn the circuit breaker back on.
• Test the burner:
• Turn the repaired burner to LOW — element should warm gradually and cycle on/off.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 OFF — element and indicator light should turn off completely within a few seconds.
