Common Symptoms
- Surface element does not heat
- Surface element remains on high heat
- Surface element will not turn on
- Inconsistent surface-element heating
Check Before Replacing
- Verify the appliance model number before ordering because this switch is used only on select models.
- With power disconnected, inspect the switch and terminals for visible heat damage or burned connectors.
- If an element does not heat or remains on high, test the switch and the element separately rather than assuming the switch is defective.
Pro Tip
This switch is for a standard surface element; dual-element positions may require a different dual burner switch.
