General Electric Surface Element Switch WB23K34830 OEM Part

This Surface Element Control Switch is crafted for 8-inch elements and is suitable for various GE appliances, including Hotpoint, General Electric, and select Sears-Kenmore models. Specifically, it serves as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part for GE ranges and cooktops. Its primary purpose is to control the temperature of cooktop burners, allowing for accurate heat adjustments from low to high. Users can alter the heat level by turning the dial, which adjusts the electrical power supplied to the burner.

Electrical issues, such as worn contacts or internal short circuits, can affect the performance of this switch. Additionally, physical damage or general wear and tear over time may hinder its effectiveness.

Signs that the Infinite Switch may be malfunctioning include:

- Burners not reaching the desired temperature or failing to heat entirely
- Inability to adjust burner temperature
- Erratic fluctuations in temperature

Moreover, this component is compatible with certain Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore models.
