Before replacing a switch, it helps to confirm the diagnosis. An infinite switch failure produces predictable electrical symptoms that are easy to distinguish from a bad element or a wiring problem. A quick multimeter test across the switch terminals will show whether the contacts are stuck closed, stuck open, or cycling correctly — saving you the cost of replacing the wrong component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"epd-desc\"\u003eThe key diagnostic clue is the relationship between the knob position and the element behavior. If the element stays at full heat regardless of where the knob is set, the switch contacts have likely welded shut internally. If the element gets no power at all and the element's own continuity checks out fine, the switch contacts have failed open. Erratic behavior — heat that cuts in and out — points to a degraded bimetallic strip that flexes inconsistently. In all three cases, the WB24X47186 restores proper heat regulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"epd-qa\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"epd-qa-label\"\u003e\n\u003csvg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"#4338ca\" stroke-width=\"2.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" style=\"vertical-align: -2px; margin-right: 4px;\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M14.7 6.3a1 1 0 0 0 0 1.4l1.6 1.6a1 1 0 0 0 1.4 0l3.77-3.77a6 6 0 0 1-7.94 7.94l-6.91 6.91a2.12 2.12 0 0 1-3-3l6.91-6.91a6 6 0 0 1 7.94-7.94l-3.76 3.76z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e Will This Fix My Range?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eYes — if your GE, Hotpoint, or RCA electric range has a burner stuck on high, not heating, or producing uneven heat output, a faulty infinite switch is the most likely cause.

Remove the wires from the switch terminals and label them for reassembly. Set your multimeter to continuity or the lowest ohm setting. With the switch knob in the off position, you should read no continuity (open circuit) across the L1 and H1 terminals. Turn the knob to any on position — you should now read continuity or very low resistance. If you get continuity in the off position, the contacts are welded shut. If you get no continuity in any on position, the contacts have failed open.

Over time, this accelerates coil oxidation and can lead to hot spots or a burned-out element.
