Common Symptoms
- The 8-inch burner does not turn on.
- The burner remains continuously energized or heats only at high.
- Heat output is inconsistent or cannot be adjusted normally.
- The control knob turns but the associated burner does not respond.
Check Before Replacing
- Disconnect electrical power at the range plug or circuit breaker before inspecting the switch.
- Verify that the affected burner is the 8-inch element associated with this switch and that the control knob and switch shaft engage normally.
- With power disconnected, inspect accessible wiring terminals and connectors for loose connections, overheating, or visible damage; do not rely on visual inspection alone to diagnose the switch.
- If electrical testing is required, have a qualified appliance technician test the switch and related element circuit against the appliance service documentation.
Pro Tip
Before replacing the switch, confirm that the symptom follows the control circuit rather than the surface element, receptacle, wiring, or limiter; an infinite-switch symptom alone does not prove the switch is defective.
