WB24X25013 Genuine OEM GE Range Surface Burner Infinite Switch Replaces WB24X47186.
The WB24X25013 is a genuine GE OEM infinite control switch for a dual (bridge) surface element on GE, Hotpoint, and select Kenmore electric ranges — the kind of burner with an inner coil and an outer coil that can be run together for a large pot or as the inner coil alone for a small pan. Because it's governing two coil zones instead of one, this switch uses six terminal connections rather than the three or four found on a standard single-element infinite switch, and it mounts to the control panel with a distinctive figure-8 style shaft and two female mounting holes.
Like any infinite switch, it doesn't have fixed heat positions — instead it rapidly cycles power to the element(s) on and off at a ratio set by the knob, giving continuous heat adjustment from warm to high rather than a handful of steps. Rated for 240VAC at 15 amps. Over years of cycling, the internal contacts on a switch like this wear, pit, or weld together, and boilovers or spills can corrode the switch body and cause it to fail. A worn switch on a dual-element burner can produce an unusually wide symptom set: the whole burner may fail, or just the outer ring may stop responding while the inner coil still works, or the burner may stay on continuously regardless of the knob position. It directly replaces WB24X47186, 191D4774P005, AP5999509, PS11729102, EAP11729102, and 4464832. As a genuine OEM part, the WB24X25013 is manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The WB24X25013 Genuine OEM GE Range Surface Burner Infinite Switch fixes GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore electric ranges with a dual (bridge) element burner where the burner won't turn on or off, only the outer ring fails to work while the inner coil still heats, the burner stays on continuously, or heat can't be adjusted. Six-terminal switch, figure-8 shaft, 240VAC / 15A. Replaces WB24X47186, 191D4774P005, AP5999509, PS11729102, EAP11729102, 4464832. Not the same switch as a standard single-element infinite switch — this one is specific to dual/bridge burners with an inner and outer coil.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dual-element burner won't turn on at all when the knob is turned
Outer ring of a dual/bridge element won't activate while the inner coil still works
Burner won't turn off — stays hot even with the knob at the off position
Burner stuck at one heat level regardless of where the knob is set
No ability to adjust temperature — always full blast or always low
Intermittent burner operation — works sometimes, not others
Knob feels loose, gritty, or doesn't turn smoothly through its range
Burner failure that followed a boilover or liquid spill on the control panel

GE JB6, JB7, and JB8 series electric ranges (including JB630, JB640, JB645, and JB655)
GE JBS series electric ranges
GE JS6 and JS7 series electric ranges (including the JS760 series)

Note: This is a six-terminal switch built specifically for a dual (bridge) element with a figure-8 style shaft and two female mounting holes — it is NOT interchangeable with a standard single-element infinite switch such as the WB24T10029 or WB24T10025, which use fewer terminals and a different shaft profile. Fitting a standard single-element switch to a dual-element burner circuit will not correctly control both coil zones. Always verify your full model number and confirm the affected burner is a dual/bridge element before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

Installation Notes
⚠️ 240V Circuit — Unplug Range Or Shut Off Breaker Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning — this switch operates on a 240V circuit, and working on it while powered presents a serious shock hazard. Wear work gloves. Remove the burner knob (it typically pulls straight off, though some models use a small retaining clip) then remove the screws securing the control panel or backsplash to reach the switch from behind. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting anything — this is a six-terminal switch, and getting even one wire out of place can miswire the inner coil, the outer ring, or both. Label each wire as you remove it. Disconnect all six terminal connections from the old switch, then remove the mounting screws from the two mounting holes and pull the switch free from its figure-8 shaft opening. Install the new WB24X25013 in the same orientation, reconnect each of the six wires exactly as labeled, and secure the mounting hardware. Reinstall the control panel or backsplash, press the knob back onto the shaft, restore power, and test the burner at every knob position — confirm the inner coil and outer ring both activate correctly (together and, if your model supports it, with the outer ring switched off independently) before considering the repair complete. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, wire terminal pliers (helpful but optional), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my burner uses a dual-element switch like this one?
Look at the burner element itself: a dual (bridge) element has two distinct coil rings — a smaller inner coil and a larger outer ring — usually with a separate control or a knob position that lets you activate just the inner coil for a small pan or both rings together for a large pot. A standard single-ring element has only one coil and uses a simpler switch with fewer terminals. If your range has this two-ring burner design, the WB24X25013 (or the exact switch behind it) is the correct type — but always confirm your model number, since dual-element switches vary by range generation.
Only the outer ring of my dual burner doesn't work. Is it the switch or the element?
It could be either, and it's worth narrowing down before ordering. If the inner coil heats normally but the outer ring never activates at any knob position, check the outer ring element itself first — a broken element coil is a common and cheaper fix than a switch. If the outer ring element tests fine but the switch's six-terminal wiring specific to the outer coil circuit has failed or corroded, the infinite switch is the correct replacement.
Can I use a standard single-element infinite switch instead if this one is out of stock?
No. A standard single-element switch has fewer terminals and cannot correctly control the two separate coil zones of a dual (bridge) burner. Wiring a single-element switch into a dual-element circuit will leave one coil zone permanently uncontrolled or non-functional. Always order the six-terminal dual-element switch specified for your model.
What does "infinite switch" mean?
An infinite switch lets you dial in a continuous range of heat rather than a few fixed positions, by rapidly cycling the element's power on and off at a ratio set by the knob — low settings get short power pulses, high settings get long ones. When the internal contacts wear or weld together from years of cycling, the switch can get stuck feeding constant power (burner always hot) or stop switching at all (burner always off), regardless of where the knob is turned.
A spill got into the control panel and now the burner won't turn off. Is that the switch?
Very likely, yes. Liquid boilovers and spills are one of the most common causes of infinite switch failure — moisture gets into the switch body, corrodes or bridges the internal contacts, and the switch can end up stuck feeding power continuously even with the knob turned to off. If you suspect this, shut off power to the range immediately at the breaker rather than relying on the knob, since a shorted switch may not respond to it at all.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original six-terminal wiring, figure-8 shaft, 240VAC/15A electrical rating, and dual-coil switching behavior of the infinite switch originally installed for the dual (bridge) element in your GE, Hotpoint, or Kenmore range.
