Whirlpool W11122008 Infinite Switch Surface Element Control

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL W11122008 is an infinite switch designed to control the heat output of surface heating elements on electric ranges and cooktops. Infinite switches regulate element power by cycling the heating circuit on and off in variable intervals, allowing precise temperature adjustment across a continuous range rather than fixed settings. Measuring 2.5 x 1.75 x 1.75 inches, this compact switch is an OEM replacement part sourced directly from Whirlpool. Installation is typically performed by a qualified appliance technician as part of a surface element control repair or burner control replacement service.

This switch is used in residential electric ranges and cooktops where a surface element has lost the ability to adjust heat output or no longer responds to the control knob. It fits a range of Whirlpool-manufactured electric range models and is a direct OEM-style replacement for the original component. Compatible model numbers are listed in the compatibility section below for reference during service diagnosis and parts ordering.
