Whirlpool WP3148952 Genuine OEM Range Element Control Switch

This Range Element Control Switch turns the surface element on and off, controlling the amount of heat it produces. If your element remains at high heat or doesn’t turn on at all, replacing this part may alleviate these issues. To access the part, you'll need to remove the back panel of the range. Depending on your model, you may not have the same terminal blocks, and you may need to swap out your wires one at a time. This switch is designed for 6-inch burners (5.2–6.6 amps). For 8" burners, use part WP3149400, available at whirlpoolparts.com under item number 2786. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools such as a multi-screwdriver, some disassembly of the appliance, and novice repair experience. Before installing this high-quality and durable replacement part, remember to unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety.
