Product description

316530101 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Range Infinite Switch — Hyper Element

The 316530101 is the Genuine OEM infinite switch for the hyper element surface burner on select Frigidaire and Kenmore electric ranges. When a burner stops responding to its knob — staying on full heat, refusing to heat at all, or producing erratic output — the infinite switch is the first component to suspect. It sits directly behind the control knob and is the only component that translates knob position into actual heat output at the element.

Before ordering a replacement, it's worth ruling out the simpler causes: a tripped circuit breaker leg (a range on 240V can lose half its power and still turn on some functions), and the element itself. If the element coil shows a visible break or reads open on a multimeter, replace the element first. If the element checks out and the burner symptom is a heat control problem rather than no heat at all, the switch is the correct diagnosis. The 316530101 is specific to the hyper (dual-zone) element — do not substitute a standard single-element switch, which will not handle the hyper element's load correctly.

🔧 Quick Answer: Will This Fix Your Burner?

Replace this switch if your hyper element burner stays on full heat, won't turn on, or won't hold a set temperature. Confirm the element itself is intact before ordering. Part Number: 316530101 — Genuine OEM Frigidaire, hyper element.

Common Symptoms This Part Fixes
  • Hyper element burner stays on full heat regardless of knob setting
  • Burner won't heat after turning the knob to any position
  • Burner cycles on and off with no consistent heat output

  • Knob turns freely but burner doesn't respond
  • Burning smell or discoloration at the control panel area

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I confirm it's the switch and not the element before ordering?
Unplug the range and pull the burner element out of its receptacle. Set a multimeter to ohms and probe the two element terminals. A good element reads 10–40 ohms; an open reading (OL/no continuity) means the element is broken and should be replaced first. If the element tests fine, reconnect it, then test the switch: at the HIGH position, its load contacts should read continuity; at LOW, they should cycle. A switch stuck open (no continuity at HIGH) or stuck closed (continuity at all positions including OFF) confirms switch failure.
Why can't I use a standard infinite switch instead of this hyper element switch?
The hyper element has two heating zones — inner and outer coils — that draw more combined current than a standard single-coil element. A standard switch's internal contacts are not rated for the hyper element's power draw. Installing one may work initially, but the contacts will overheat and fail prematurely, often within weeks. The 316530101 is rated specifically for the hyper element application; using the correct switch avoids repeat repairs.
My range lost power on two burners at the same time. Is that the switch?
Not likely — when two burners fail simultaneously, check the circuit breaker first. Electric ranges run on 240V from two 120V legs. If one leg trips or a breaker loses half its feed, some burners and functions will stop working while others continue. Reset both breaker poles (flip fully off, then back on) before diagnosing individual components. If only one burner is affected, the switch is the right starting point.
How long does this repair take?
Plan for 30–45 minutes. The main steps are removing the rear access panel or backsplash (varies by model), photographing the wiring for reference, unplugging the harness from the old switch, unbolting it from the console bracket, and reversing the process with the new switch. The 316530101 is a direct plug-in replacement — the connector fits only one way and no wiring changes are needed.
Does this part fit Kenmore ranges made by Frigidaire?
Yes. Many Kenmore electric ranges are manufactured by Frigidaire (Electrolux) under the Sears/Kenmore label and use the same OEM components. The 316530101 is confirmed compatible with Kenmore models on the Frigidaire platform. Check your Kenmore model number against the compatibility list — Kenmore ranges made by other manufacturers use different parts.
