Replacing an incorrect switch with the WPW10197681 provides accurate temperature control to your range, enabling you to cook safely again. While altering the switch requires some disassembly and simple machinery, the benefits of reinstating your cooktop's operation make it an enjoyable repair for any DIYer.
