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

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.

XPARTCO WR55X10942C Refrigerator Control Board
The XPARTCO WR55X10942C is an aftermarket replacement main control board for GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and select Kenmore refrigerators. This board is the central processor for the refrigeration system — it regulates temperature, manages the defrost cycle, and controls compressor operation, coordinating everything that keeps both the fresh food and freezer compartments at the correct temperature. Electrical surges and ordinary long-term wear are both common causes of this board failing.
Manufacturer part number 200D4850G022. A failing control board produces a wide range of symptoms because so many functions run through it: inconsistent or fluctuating temperatures, a refrigerator that runs too warm or too cold, the refrigerator not starting at all, unusual clicking noises as the board misfires relay signals, or ice that melts and refreezes as the defrost cycle malfunctions. It directly replaces WR55X10942, WR55X10942P, WR55X10942CT, WR49X10060, WR55X10024, WR55X10037, WR55X10045, WR55X10056, WR55X10065, WR55X10079, WR55X10083, WR55X10086, WR55X10090, WR55X10097, WR55X10109, WR55X10110, WR55X10151, WR55X10160, WR55X10171, WR55X10174, WR55X10177, WR55X10187, WR55X10188, AP7188100, and PS16729744.
Quick Answer

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Handle The Board By Its Edges Unplug the refrigerator or shut off power at the breaker before beginning to avoid electrical hazards. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through a rear cover panel: remove the screws securing the cover to reach the board. Photograph all harness connections before disconnecting anything — this board has multiple connectors, and reconnecting one in the wrong position will cause a malfunction or no-start symptom. Handle the new board by its edges rather than touching the components directly, and avoid working in conditions with static buildup, since these boards can be sensitive to static discharge. Remove the mounting screws, disconnect each harness connector from the old board, and lift it free. Position the replacement WR55X10942C board in the same location, secure it in place, and reconnect all harnesses firmly, matching the original connector locations exactly as photographed. Put the rear cover back on and tighten the screws, then restore power and confirm normal cooling and defrost operation, along with any dispenser or interior lighting behavior your model has. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My refrigerator temperature keeps fluctuating for no clear reason. Is this the control board?
It's a strong possibility, especially if you've already ruled out simpler causes like a door seal that isn't sealing properly or a condenser coil that needs cleaning. Since this board regulates both temperature and the defrost cycle together, a failing board can cause the refrigerator to swing between too warm and too cold as it struggles to manage the system correctly.
Could a power surge have caused this failure?
Yes, this is a documented and common cause of control board failure. Electrical surges, including those from storms or grid fluctuations, can damage the board's circuitry outright, leading to sudden symptom onset. If your refrigerator's issues started abruptly, especially after a storm or power event, this board is a reasonable first suspect.
There are so many similar GE control board part numbers. How do I make sure I'm ordering the right one?
This is a real and common point of confusion, since GE has released many visually similar boards across different refrigerator generations that are not all interchangeable. The safest approach is to match your refrigerator's full model number against this listing's compatibility rather than relying on how similar a board looks to your old one. If you're at all unsure, send us your model number and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured to match the processor, relay switching, defrost control circuitry, and harness connector configuration of the original WR55X10942C control board used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore refrigerators.

XPG499 Microwave Door Switch (Normally Closed)
The XPG499 is a universal replacement normally closed (NC) door interlock switch for microwave ovens and microwave/oven combination units. This is a critical safety component: microwave door interlock switches exist specifically to cut power to the magnetron the instant the door opens, preventing any possibility of microwave radiation escaping the cavity while the door isn't fully closed and latched. This switch's normally closed contact design matches a wide range of microwave door latch mechanisms across GE, Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, Kenmore, and other brands.
Rated 16A, 125/250VAC. Over time, this switch's contacts can wear, pit, or fuse together from repeated cycling and the electrical load carried every time the door opens and closes. A failing interlock switch typically shows up as a microwave that won't start at all, a display that works but the unit won't heat, or intermittent operation tied to the door latch area. This is the normally closed counterpart to our EXP497 (normally open) and EXP480 (combined NC/NO) listings — always confirm which specific contact configuration your microwave's failed switch uses before ordering.
Quick Answer
The XPG499 Microwave Door Switch (Normally Closed) fixes microwave ovens and microwave/oven combos that won't start, won't heat, or operate intermittently near the door latch area. 16A, 125/250VAC, normally closed (NC) contact design. Never operate a microwave with a bypassed, disconnected, or suspected-faulty door interlock switch — these switches exist to prevent radiation exposure and must always be replaced with a properly rated part, never removed or defeated.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Microwave won't start at all, even though the display and buttons respond normally
Microwave display and timer work, but the unit won't heat
Microwave stops working intermittently, especially around the door latch
Clicking or buzzing sound from the door area without the microwave starting
Breaker tripping when the door is opened, indicating a switch contact that has fused shut
Door that doesn't feel like it's latching securely

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Never Bypass A Door Interlock Switch Unplug the microwave before beginning any work, and if it's a built-in or over-the-range unit, shut off power at the breaker as well. Microwave ovens also contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous electrical charge even after the unit is unplugged — avoid touching internal components near the capacitor and magnetron. Door interlock switches are a critical safety system: they exist specifically to cut power the instant the door opens, preventing microwave radiation from escaping the cavity. Never operate a microwave with an interlock switch disconnected, bypassed, or jumpered, even temporarily — doing so can expose you and others to microwave radiation. If you are not fully comfortable working inside a microwave's internal compartment, have a qualified appliance technician perform this repair instead.
⚠️ Photograph Wiring Before Disconnecting — Match The Failed Switch Exactly Wear work gloves. Remove the outer cabinet or access panel per your model's service instructions to reach the door switch assembly, typically located near the door latch mechanism. Photograph the wiring on the old switch before disconnecting anything, and confirm you're replacing the correct switch position if your microwave uses multiple interlock switches. Disconnect the wire terminals from the old switch, remove its mounting screws, and pull it free. Install the new XPG499 in the same position, reconnect each wire terminal to its original position, and secure the mounting screws. Reinstall the cabinet or access panel. Restore power and test that the microwave starts normally with the door closed, and — this is the critical safety check — confirm the unit stops heating immediately when the door is opened during a test run with a cup of water. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My microwave stopped working. How do I know if it's actually a door switch and not something else?
A common pattern is a microwave where the display and buttons respond normally, but pressing start does nothing, or the unit hums without heating — this points toward the door interlock circuit rather than the control board. Since these switches also serve a critical safety function, if you suspect a fault in this area, it's best to have it properly diagnosed and replaced rather than working around the symptom.
Is it safe to just disconnect a faulty interlock switch so the microwave will run?
No — this is not safe under any circumstances. Door interlock switches exist specifically to cut power to the magnetron the instant the door opens, preventing microwave radiation from escaping. Bypassing, disconnecting, or jumpering one of these switches removes that protection and can expose you and anyone nearby to microwave radiation, even if the microwave otherwise appears to run normally. Always replace a faulty switch with a correctly rated new one rather than working around it.
How is this different from your EXP497 and EXP480 listings?
These are different contact configurations for different switch positions in a microwave's door interlock system. This XPG499 is normally closed (NC) only. Our EXP497 listing is normally open (NO) only, and our EXP480 listing combines both NC and NO contacts in a single switch body. Since most microwaves use two or three interlock switches with different configurations, check which contact type your specific failed switch uses before ordering.
My microwave trips the breaker whenever I open the door. What does that mean?
This can indicate that one of the door switches has fused or welded its contacts shut from repeated electrical stress, so it continues carrying current when it shouldn't. This is a genuine safety concern and the affected switch should be replaced promptly rather than continuing to use the microwave.

W10404050 Genuine OEM Washer Lid Switch Assembly
The W10404050 is a Genuine OEM replacement lid switch and latch assembly compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Admiral, Crosley, Inglis, Magic Chef, and Norge top-load washers. The lid switch is a critical safety component that detects when the washer lid is opened or closed. It sends a signal to the control board to allow the washer to fill, agitate, and spin when the lid is closed — and to immediately stop the spin cycle when the lid is opened, preventing contact with a moving drum.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning any repair. The lid switch assembly is mounted under the washer's top panel near the lid opening. To access it, insert a putty knife about 2 inches from each front corner of the top panel to release the spring clips and lift the top panel. Disconnect the 4-wire harness from the old lid switch assembly. Remove the mounting screws securing the assembly and lift it out. Install the new W10404050 assembly, secure with the mounting screws, and reconnect the 4-wire harness. Choose the appropriate bezel (white or gray) for your model and snap it into place. Lower the top panel until the clips engage. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the lid locks, the washer starts, and the spin cycle stops when the lid is opened. Tip: While the top panel is raised, inspect the lid strike (W10240513) on the lid for cracks or wear — if worn, replace it at the same time. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the washer lid switch do?
The lid switch assembly serves two functions. First, it is a safety device — when the lid is opened during the spin cycle, the switch immediately cuts power to the spin motor to prevent contact with the moving drum. Second, it signals the control board that the lid is securely closed and locked, allowing the washer to proceed through the fill, agitate, and spin cycles. If the switch fails, the washer either won't start at all, or will fail to proceed past a specific cycle stage because the board cannot confirm the lid is closed.
My lid lock light is blinking — does that mean the lid switch needs to be replaced?
A blinking lid lock light is one of the most common symptoms of a failed W10404050 lid switch assembly. It typically means the lid lock mechanism is attempting to engage but failing — either because the switch is internally faulty or because the lid strike (W10240513) on the lid is broken and not triggering the switch properly. Inspect the lid strike first — if it is cracked or missing, replace it. If the strike looks intact and the lid lock still blinks without engaging, replace the W10404050 switch assembly.
Should I also replace the lid strike (W10240513) at the same time?
It depends on the condition of the strike. Open the lid and inspect the two plastic prongs on the underside of the lid that engage the W10404050 latch — this is the W10240513 lid strike. If the prongs are cracked, broken, or noticeably worn down, replace the strike at the same time as the switch assembly. Since the top panel is already lifted for the switch replacement, it is a good opportunity to inspect and replace the strike if needed, using only a Phillips screwdriver.
What washers is the W10404050 compatible with?
The W10404050 is used on Whirlpool Cabrio and WTW series electronic top-load washers, Maytag Centennial and Bravos X top-load washers, and Kenmore 110 series top-load washers, among others. It is specifically for electronic top-load models with a 4-wire lid lock — not for older mechanical top-load washers that use a simpler 2- or 3-wire lid switch. Verify your model number before ordering.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same lid switch and latch assembly installed in compatible washers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
