GE Range Surface Element Infinite Switch - WB24X10176
GE Range Surface Element Infinite Switch - WB24X10176
Regulates electrical power to a surface heating element so the burner knob can control heat output. A failed switch may cause a burner that will not heat, stays at one setting, overheats, cycles incorrectly, or remains energized after the control is turned off; symptoms alone do not confirm the switch is defective.
Fitment guidance: For select GE electric ranges and cooktops that list part number WB24X10176. This is a model-specific electrical control, not a visual-match or universal-fit part. Verify the complete model and serial number, original switch number, terminal markings, shaft style, element position, and electrical rating before ordering; similar-looking switches are not interchangeable.
