Restore precise temperature control to your electric range with the Whirlpool 3148951 Infinite Surface Element Switch. This OEM replacement switch regulates the power supplied to your surface burner, allowing you to accurately adjust cooking temperatures from low simmer to high heat. It is designed for select Whirlpool-built electric ranges and provides reliable, consistent burner performance.

If your surface burner stays on high, won't heat, won't turn off, heats intermittently, or does not respond correctly to the control knob, replacing the infinite switch can restore normal operation. Built to OEM specifications, the 3148951 ensures a proper fit and dependable long-term performance.

The Whirlpool 3148951 Infinite Switch (replaced by WP3149404) looks like the images above. It is the surface element control switch used on many Whirlpool-built electric ranges and controls the heat output of a 6-inch surface burner. It has a white plastic body, a metal mounting plate, multiple spade terminals, and a control shaft for the burner knob.
