Description
Restore precise heat control to your large electric cooktop element with the Electrolux 318293825 Infinite Control Switch. This genuine OEM switch regulates the power cycle to the higher-wattage surface elements (rated 8.9-11.0 Amps / 2136-2640 Watts at 240V) commonly used for 8-inch or dual elements. The switch, manufactured by Invensys/Robertshaw, uses a thermal cycling system to provide variable heat output from low to high. If your large burner remains stuck on high or fails to heat, this switch needs replacement.
