Whirlpool w10197679 Infinite Switch Oem

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL w10197679 is an OEM infinite switch designed for use in electric ranges and cooktops. An infinite switch controls the power level delivered to a surface burner element by cycling the element on and off at varying intervals, giving the user a continuous range of heat settings from low to high. This is a direct OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool and is the correct replacement for units that have developed a faulty or failed surface element control. Licensed appliance technicians and experienced service pros handle this repair.

This switch is suited for residential electric cooking appliances where the original infinite switch has failed, causing a burner to run at a fixed heat level, not respond to the control knob, or fail to operate entirely. It is a direct OEM replacement part, meaning it meets the original factory specifications for fit and function in compatible Whirlpool-platform appliances.
