Frigidaire 316436001 Infinite Switch appliance part

Frigidaire 316436001 Infinite Switch

This Frigidaire 316436001 infinite switch is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire ranges and ovens. It controls the power cycling for the larger surface burner element. The component restores precise heat regulation when the original switch fails or becomes erratic. Homeowners and repair technicians use it to return the appliance to normal cooking operation.

Replaces a worn or failed infinite switch

The part directly replaces the factory-installed infinite switch governing the larger burner. The swap is worth it when the burner stays on high, will not turn on, or cycles irregularly regardless of knob position. It addresses the specific control fault without requiring a new cooktop or control board. Installation typically requires basic hand tools and access to the rear panel or control console.

OEM burner control for larger element

The switch manages the duty cycle for the range's larger surface burner, providing the expected range of heat settings. It handles normal daily cooking loads for that element as designed by the manufacturer. The part does not address faults in the burner element itself, wiring harness, or the smaller burner controls. If the element is open-circuit or the wiring is damaged, the switch alone will not restore function.
