Common Symptoms
- Surface element will not heat
- Only the inner or smaller zone of the dual element heats
- Burner operates only on high or does not regulate temperature
- Burner control knob does not properly switch or regulate the dual element
Check Before Replacing
- Disconnect electrical power to the range at the plug or circuit breaker before inspecting the switch.
- Verify that the surface-element wiring and terminals have no visible loose, burned, or damaged connections.
- Compare the existing switch terminal labels and wire positions with the replacement switch; do not rely only on terminal location because the updated design differs.
- If electrical testing is appropriate, test the switch and related element circuit only with power removed and according to the appliance wiring diagram or service documentation.
- Check the dual element itself and its wiring before condemning the switch, since either component can cause partial or no heating.
Pro Tip
The updated WP74003122 uses seven labeled terminals instead of the earlier five-terminal design. Photograph or label each wire before removal, then transfer wires by terminal label rather than by physical position.

- Remove the control knob and access panels only as required by the appliance design.
- Record the original wire locations before disconnecting the old switch.
- Transfer wires to the matching labeled terminals on the new switch; terminal placement may differ from the old switch.
- Do not connect or test the pilot-lamp wire until the line and load wiring has been correctly connected and the retrofit instructions have been followed.
- Reassemble all panels and restore power only after wiring is secure. Powered voltage testing should be performed only by a qualified person using appropriate procedures.
