Whirlpool WP3191049 Range Infinite Switch

The Whirlpool WP3191049 is an essential component for your Whirlpool or KitchenAid appliances. This is specifically designed to function as an infinite switch for a 6-inch surface element. An infinite switch, as opposed to a standard knob with restricted settings, enables for smooth and precise heat control throughout a wide range. This means you can fine-tune your burner's temperature to properly simmer delicate sauces, bring pasta to a rolling boil, or sear a steak to your preferred doneness. The switch regulates the flow of power to the surface element. Turning the knob adjusts a variable resistor within the switch. This resistance regulates the current, which determines the element's heating level. With a defective infinite switch, you may struggle to maintain consistent heat.
