Part Details
Installation Notes
- ⚠️ Safety Warning:
- This repair involves 240V wiring. Always disconnect power completely before starting. 240V can cause serious injury or death.
- Tools Needed:
- Phillips screwdriver
- 1/4" nut driver
- Needle-nose pliers
- Smartphone or camera (photograph wire connections)
- Masking tape and marker (label wires)
- Installation:
- Disconnect power
- — Turn off the circuit breaker (40–50 amp double-pole).
- Verify power is off.
- For plug-in ranges, unplug from the wall outlet.
- Remove the burner control knob
- — pull straight off the shaft.
- Remove the control panel/backsplash:
- Remove screws securing the backsplash (top edge or rear) or front control panel (underneath or at ends).Tilt or lift to access the switches behind.
- Locate the infinite switch
- — directly behind the knob you removed. It has a threaded shaft and multiple wire terminals.
- Photograph all wire connections
- — clear, close-up photos from multiple angles.
- Label each wire
- — use masking tape and marker on each wire with its terminal designation.
- Disconnect the wires
- — using needle-nose pliers, pull each spade connector straight off. Grip the connector, not the wire. Inspect each connector for heat damage — replace any that are melted or discolored.
- Remove the mounting nut
- — from the front of the panel, unscrew the nut securing the switch shaft.
- Remove the old switch
- — push it back through the panel.
- Install the new WS01F01598 switch
- — insert the shaft through the panel hole from behind. Ensure the switch body is oriented the same way as the old one.
- Secure with the mounting nut
- — tighten snugly from the front.
- Reconnect all wires
- — refer to your photos and labels. Push each spade connector firmly onto the correct terminal. Ensure every connection is tight and fully seated.
- Verify no loose wires
- — nothing touching other terminals or metal surfaces.
- Reinstall the control panel/backsplash
- — secure with screws. No wires pinched.
- Reinstall the burner knob
- — align the D-shaped hole with the shaft, push firmly. Verify knob points to "Off" when seated.
- Restore power.
- Test the burner: High (element should glow red within 1–2 minutes), Medium (element cycles — glow dims and brightens rhythmically), Low (element cycles more noticeably), Off (element stops glowing, indicator light turns off once cooled). Test all other burners to verify no wiring was disturbed.
