Possible Causes

Failed infinite switch contacts, Shorted control knob shaft, Loose wiring at switch, Faulty electronic burner control

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power at the breaker.

  • Symptom check: If the burner only works on high regardless of knob position, the infinite switch is likely stuck closed.
  • Access switch: Remove the back panel or control panel to access the burner switch.
  • Inspect wiring: Check for burned or loose wires at the switch terminals. Repair as needed.
  • Replace switch: Transfer wires one at a time from the old JennAir-compatible infinite switch to the new one, matching terminal labels, and reinstall.
