Range infinite switches are crucial for controlling the heat output of electric stove elements, providing flexibility and precision in cooking. Regular maintenance and prompt replacement of faulty switches ensure efficient and safe operation of your range.
Function
Power Regulation: Infinite switches control the amount of electrical power delivered to the range's heating elements.
Variable Settings: Unlike traditional switches with only "high" or "low" settings, infinite switches provide a range of heat levels.
Design and Operation
Construction: Infinite switches are typically rotary or dial-type switches.
Internal Mechanism: The switch operates using a variable resistor or rheostat.
Mounting: Infinite switches are usually mounted on the control panel and are connected to the heating elements via wiring and connectors.
Common Issues
- Failure to Adjust Heat: If the switch fails, it may not properly regulate the heat level. The element might remain at a constant temperature or fail to heat up at all.
- Physical Damage: The switch can sometimes become physically damaged or worn out over time, affecting its functionality.
- Electrical Problems: Faulty wiring or electrical connections related to the switch can lead to inconsistent heating or other operational issues.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance
- Inspect for Damage: Visually check the switch for any signs of physical damage, such as cracks or burnt areas.
- Test with a Multimeter: Use a multimeter to check for continuity and resistance to determine if the switch is functioning correctly.
- Replacement: If the switch is malfunctioning, replacing it with an exact match for your stove model is necessary. Ensure you follow safety protocols when replacing electrical components.

Our stovetop stopped working. We are no experts, but after a lot of Googling and YouTube videos we purchased a multimeter and pinpointed that this part was probably the culprit. We replaced all four, and now it’s like a brand new unit! All the panels heat up more quickly and with more intensity. It’s definitely a do-able project for a DIY enthusiast and will save you hundreds of dollars in service costs!

I bought this to repair my GE 30" Electric Smoothtop Cooktop model JP3030SJSS.Replacement is straight forward, but with my cooktop, a lot of disassembly was required.
