Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• The element will not heat or turn on.
• The element remains at full heat despite lowering the control.
• Heat level does not adjust normally.
• Only one section of the dual element operates.
• The element may fail to turn off normally.

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power at the range/cooktop circuit breaker before inspection.
• With power disconnected, visually inspect the switch and wire terminals for loose connections, discoloration, melting, or burn damage.
• Confirm that the control knob is mechanically engaging the switch shaft and is not cracked or slipping.
• If qualified to perform electrical testing, compare switch continuity and operation with the appliance wiring diagram; do not test energized terminals unless trained and equipped to do so.
• Because the switch controls a dual element, separately verify the element and wiring before concluding that the switch is defective.
