Frigidaire 316436001 Infinite Burner Switch Range Control

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 316436001 is an infinite burner switch designed to regulate power delivery to the surface heating elements on electric ranges. The switch operates by cycling current on and off at variable intervals, allowing the user to dial in a precise heat level across a continuous range rather than fixed steps. It is a direct-fit replacement component installed by appliance service technicians and qualified electricians during range repair or element circuit servicing.

This switch is suited for residential electric range applications where the original infinite switch has failed or has become intermittent. Common symptoms that prompt replacement include a burner that will not heat, a burner that operates only at full power regardless of the dial position, or a switch that no longer holds a set position. The part is intended for surface burner circuits and is not used for oven bake or broil element control.

Key Features

• Infinite switching mechanism provides stepless heat control across the full dial range
• Direct OEM replacement for the original Frigidaire infinite burner switch
• Controls current cycling to surface heating elements for precise temperature management
• Designed for long service life in standard residential kitchen range installations

Compatibility
