Genuine OEM WP7403P239-60 Range Surface Burner Control Switch
The WP7403P239-60 is a genuine OEM infinite switch that controls a surface burner on Whirlpool, Maytag, Admiral, and Jenn-Air freestanding ranges. Turning the burner knob rotates a cam inside this switch, which cycles power to the heating element on and off at varying rates — that's how the burner produces a true range of low-to-high heat rather than just on/off. When this switch fails, the affected burner typically either stops heating altogether, sticks on full power no matter where the knob is set, or cycles erratically, surging and losing heat control mid-cook.
This is the 8-inch burner version, rated 8.9–11.0 Amp at 240 Volts with a D-shaped shaft to accept the range's control knob. It's a direct, exact-fit OEM replacement — same mounting bracket, same terminal layout, and same cam profile as the original switch it's replacing, so the burner's heat response matches factory calibration once installed.
Quick Answer
The Genuine OEM WP7403P239-60 Surface Burner Control Switch fixes a range burner that won't heat, stays on high no matter the knob setting, or surges/cycles unevenly. 8-inch burner, 8.9–11.0 Amp / 240V, D-shaped shaft. Classic symptom: one burner stuck at full blast, or an indicator light that stays on after you turn the knob off.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
- Surface burner won't heat at all, regardless of knob position
- Burner stuck on high heat no matter where the dial is set
- Intermittent heating, surging, or uneven cycling
- Loss of low/medium heat control — burner only works on high
- Burner indicator light stays on after the knob is turned off
- Knob feels loose or doesn't engage the switch shaft properly
Cross Reference Information
Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item.
Replaces Part Numbers
This switch directly replaces the following part numbers:
WP7403P239-60, 7403P239-60, 2275, 7403P372-60, WP7403P239-60VP, NL812616, AP6011291, AWP48200, EAP11744487, PD00002532, PS11744487
7403P239-60 (no "WP" prefix) is the same switch under Whirlpool's older bare part-number system — the WP prefix was added later as part of Whirlpool's branded OEM numbering, not a design change.
Compatibility
This switch fits a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, Admiral, and Jenn-Air freestanding ranges, including model families such as:
- GGE350LWB00, GGE388LXB series
- Numerous additional Whirlpool/Maytag/Admiral/Jenn-Air range models using the 8-inch infinite burner switch
Note: This switch is sized for the 8-inch surface burner position specifically — many ranges use a different-rated switch for their 6-inch burner position, so don't assume one switch works for every burner on your range. Confirm which burner position (and its size) needs replacing against your model's parts diagram, or contact our support team with your model number to verify before ordering.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Disconnect Power Before Installing Unplug the range or switch off its dedicated circuit breaker before beginning — this is a 240-volt component and must not be serviced live. Remove the control knob from the front of the range, then remove the screws securing the control panel or switch mounting bracket to access the switch from behind. Note the wire positions on the old switch's terminals (or take a photo) before disconnecting them, then transfer each wire to the same terminal position on the new switch. Reinstall the mounting bracket, reattach the knob, and restore power. Confirm the burner cycles correctly through low, medium, and high settings before considering the repair complete.
Frequently Asked Questions
My burner only works on high, or won't turn off — is this the part I need?
Yes, that's one of the most common failure modes for this switch. The internal cam mechanism that's supposed to cycle power on and off at lower settings wears out or sticks, leaving the burner locked at full power regardless of the knob position.
Is this switch the same for every burner on my range?
No. This is the switch for the 8-inch burner position. Many ranges use a different amperage-rated switch for the 6-inch burner. Check your range's parts diagram by model number to confirm which position and part number you need before ordering.
Do I need to replace the knob too?
No — this switch uses a standard D-shaped shaft that's compatible with the factory knob already on your range. You only need to remove and reinstall the existing knob during the swap, not replace it.
Is this a genuine Whirlpool part or an aftermarket copy?
This is a genuine OEM switch manufactured to the original factory specification — not an aftermarket equivalent — so fit, calibration, and heat-cycling behavior match what came on the range originally.
