How the Infinite Switch Works

An infinite switch is a bimetal heat regulator. As current flows to the surface element, a small internal bimetal strip warms up, expands, and trips a set of contacts open — cutting power. As it cools, the contacts close again, cycling the 240V power in precisely timed intervals. Failure modes: pitted contacts cause it to stick fully on, weakened bimetal won't trip, spring tension changes make the knob feel loose, and degraded contacts produce inconsistent heat.
