Product Description

Surface Burner Element Switch, Large Burner Specifications

This surface burner element switch is for an 8-inch surface burner on an oven, stove, or range. The element switch controls the heat of the surface burner. Disconnect power to your range before completing this repair because you will be working closely with electrical circuits. Remove the screws from back panel and the console, and remove the console to expose the switch. It is recommended to check for overheating or arcing on the wiring harness in case they need to be replaced as well. The harness that connects to the switch features a slip-on terminal for easy installation.

Electric coil heat not controlable
Pulled the range from the wall and unplugged the power cord. Cleaned the floor behind and under the stove.
Removed the back plate of the control panel.
Pulled the knob off and removed the wiring, I took a picture of how the old controller was connected to make sure I put all the wires on correctly.
Removed the 2 screws in front the hold the controller.
Installed the new controller in reverse order. On ours the wires would only fit on one way so the picture wasn't necessary.

R/Front Range Element would not change to Med or Low setting. Stayed on full hot and burned food.
I disconnected power cord from house current. Removed back panels (2). I then removed round knob on front of range. I then removed the 2 screws holding the switch in place. After doing that, I gently removed the actual switch itself from back of face panel. I then separated the 2 elements of the switch.

I took new replacement switch and reinstalled the 2 parts of switch and placed back into hole in face panel. I reinserted the 2 front screws that holds the switch in place. I put the selection knob back on. However, the knob does not fit tightly. The shaft on the switch itself is to long, but the switch works fine. You do not even know that knob sticks out further than before. I plugged unit back into house current and tested range element to see if it works. It did so with no problem. I then replaced rear panels and secured all screws back to their original location and that was all there was to it.

No problem. Was a fast and effective installation.

Could not control temperature for 8" burner (front right).
The repair was easy. I unplugged the stove, removed back panel, pulled knob and removed 2 screws to remove switch. Unplugged old switch, plugged in new one and installed the 2 screws for switch. Had to snap off stem for new switch to fit knob (easily done with pliers with provided notch). Put knob and back panel back on. Total time, maybe 20 minutes.

2nd 8 inch burner switch in a little over a year to not always hold selected tempurature.
As a former appliance repairman, the installation went just like the repair instruction video.
Just use care not to scratch anything and clean behind the appliance and cabinet walls, etc. It's worth a hug and a piece of pie!

While cooking i lost control of the temperature on the 8" burner, could it be the switch? The temperature went too high and i couldn't turn it down but i could turn it down. Thanks

Hello Bob, thank you for contacting us. It does sound like you would need to replace the switch due to the run away element, that should fix the problem. Hope this helps!

The right front burner on glass cooktop (white circle on black glass measures 10") won't hold temp (gets very hot and fluctuates). I believe the control switch for right front burner (farthest right on control panel) has gone bad, but I'm not sure what replacement switch to get. Can you help? Thanks.

Hello, When I turn the knob on for the large burner, I hear a popping and crackling noise behind the knob (like an electrical arc). Is it the switch that needs replacing? If so what is the part number I need to lookup?

Hi Rob, Thank you for your question. If you are hearing a popping sound behind the knob, then the issue is the switch and you will need to replace it. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

When using my large front stove eye, i can have it set on medium heat, and it will turn itself up until the element is red hot. The only way i can make it cooler, is to turn it off and start over again. What could this be ?

Hi Butch. I believe you are correct it is switch WP3149400. However I have no sources confirming this 100 percent. I recommend contacting the manufacturer directly to verify. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair!

Large non-dual front burner began to lose temperature control and ultimately stopped working. What is the likely problem? Thanks.

Hi Ken, Thank you for the question. I would first check the switch for continuity and if the switch is good you may need to replace the element its self. Hope this helps!
