{"product_id":"w10434452","title":"Whirlpool Dual Infinite Switch (W10434452)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Whirlpool Dual Infinite Switch controls heat output to two surface heating elements on an electric cooktop. It varies power to each element by cycling the element on and off at set intervals, allowing you to adjust from low simmer to high heat. It also routes power through the proper terminals for each element size and provides an OFF position that stops power to the elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon failures come from worn internal contacts, heat damage from arcing, or a loose or overheated wire connection at the terminal block. Moisture, spills, or long-term high-heat use can speed up contact wear. When the switch fails, it may not regulate power correctly or may not open the circuit when turned off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese symptoms can help you decide if this switch matches the issue you are seeing:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne or both surface elements will not heat even though power is present and the element tests good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElement heats only on high or only on low, with no smooth change across settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat cycles irregularly, causing wide temperature swings during cooking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface element stays on when the knob is set to OFF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnob feels loose, binds, or turns without changing heat output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBurning smell, discoloration, or melted terminals near the switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WHIRLPOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42041811304533,"sku":"W10434452","price":75.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/6189\/2437\/files\/imageDisplay_9db2d643-c62e-4065-823d-dba4b5224fd3.jpg?v=1767606441","url":"https:\/\/homepartsplus.com\/products\/w10434452","provider":"Home Parts Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
