Common Symptoms
- Surface element does not turn on.
- Surface element remains on high instead of regulating heat.
- Heat level is inconsistent or difficult to control.
- Cooktop power light may remain on after the control is turned off when switch contacts have failed.
Check Before Replacing
- Disconnect electrical power to the cooktop before inspection or continuity testing.
- Verify the symptom follows the specific surface-element control and is not caused by a tripped breaker, supply problem, loose wiring, or another switch.
- With power disconnected, inspect the switch terminals and wiring for loose, damaged, or overheated connections.
- If qualified to use a multimeter, test the suspected switch only with power disconnected and the relevant terminals isolated, following the appliance wiring diagram; compare results with the switch's expected open/closed behavior in the OFF position.
- Confirm the switch location and element rating against the appliance model's wiring diagram before replacement.
Pro Tip
Do not identify the switch by position alone: Whirlpool-family cooktops can use different infinite switches for different burners, so verify the appliance model, control location, and wiring diagram before ordering.
