They also manufacture products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The specific control switch in question, identified by the part number WP9763765, is tailored for cooktops.
The WP9763765 switch functions by toggling the element to either activate or deactivate and modulate the heat level as needed.
Prior to installation, it is crucial to disconnect the cooktop from the power source by either unplugging it or switching off the circuit breaker. For safety, wearing work gloves during this process is advisable.
