✓ Model-Specific Repair Pages

Manufactured to OEM specifications, this switch assembly includes the rotary control mechanism, internal contact assembly, and mounting hardware for direct replacement. The switch uses a bi-metal contact system that cycles power on and off to maintain consistent element temperature. Built with high-temperature ceramic insulators and corrosion-resistant terminals, it's designed to withstand the demanding thermal cycling and electrical loads of daily cooking. Typical lifespan is 8–15 years; failures are most often due to contact wear, thermal stress, or moisture intrusion.

✓ Installation Tips

Always disconnect power at the breaker before servicing — do not rely on the range being switched off. The switch is located behind the control panel; remove the panel screws and carefully pull the panel forward to access the switch assembly. The switch connects via push-on terminals — photograph the wire positions before disconnecting. Verify wire connections match the original switch before installation. Reassemble and restore power to test. Installation requires basic hand tools and takes 20–40 minutes.
