The Surface Element Switch is an OEM replacement part compatible with Frigidaire Ranges. Also known as an infinite switch, it controls the temperature of the surface burner by regulating the flow of electricity to the heating element. Specifically, it allows you to adjust the burner temperature from high to low as required during cooking.
If your Frigidaire range fails to heat up or the surface burner is unable to reach the desired temperature, it may be caused by a defective surface element switch. Additionally, you may feel that the switch is loose or unresponsive. Another sign of a bad switch is when the burner does not turn on or off when adjusted, or if it turns on/off by itself. Therefore, it's essential to replace a faulty switch as soon as possible.
