Is This the Right Part?

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.
