WB23K34830 General Electric Surface Element Control Switch

This Surface Element Control Switch is designed for 8-inch elements and is compatible with various GE products, including Hotpoint, General Electric, and select Sears-Kenmore models. It is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part specifically for GE ranges and cooktops. The function of this Infinite Switch is to manage the temperature of the cooktop burners, offering precise heat adjustments from low to high. Users adjust the heat setting by turning the dial, which regulates the electrical power to the burner.

Common problems with this switch may arise from electrical issues, such as degraded contacts or internal short circuits. Physical damage or wear and tear over time can also impair its functionality.

Indicators of a malfunctioning Infinite Switch include:

- Burners not heating to the selected temperature or failing to heat at all
- Inability to modify burner temperature
- Erratic temperature changes

Additionally, this part is suitable for use with certain Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore models.
