KitchenAid Infinite Switch Failure

Electric cooktop element only heats on high or does not regulate temperature.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Worn infinite switch contacts, internal short in switch, miswired replacement switch

Safety: Disconnect power before removing control knobs or panels.

Test behavior: If the element is either off or full high with no in-between, the infinite switch is likely defective.
Access switch: Remove the control panel or front panel to access the infinite switches.
Replace switch: Transfer wires one at a time from the old switch to the new KitchenAid-specified switch, matching terminals.
