XPARTCO DG44-01002A Surface Element Infinite Switch
The XPARTCO DG44-01002A is an aftermarket replacement dual element infinite switch (energy regulator) for Samsung electric ranges. This switch does two jobs at once: it regulates how much electrical current reaches its surface element, which is what lets you dial in a precise heat level rather than just on/off, and it also controls the "hot surface" indicator light associated with that burner, letting you know when the element is still hot after use.
Over time, the internal contacts in this switch can wear, stick, or fail electrically. Because a single switch controls both functions, a failing switch can produce two very different-looking symptoms depending on which function is affected: the burner may stay stuck on high heat regardless of the dial setting, fail to produce any heat at all, or the hot surface indicator light may stay on for hours after the surface has completely cooled, even though the element itself tests fine. It directly replaces 2087510, MDSA-W21-SKM, MDSA-W888-UNM, MDSA-W888-UM, AP4337066, PS4240803, and EAP4240803.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DG44-01002A Surface Element Infinite Switch fixes Samsung electric ranges where a burner is stuck on high heat regardless of the dial setting, won't produce any heat at all, or the hot surface indicator light stays on for hours after the surface has cooled. Dual element design. Replaces 2087510, MDSA-W21-SKM, MDSA-W888-UNM, MDSA-W888-UM, AP4337066, PS4240803, EAP4240803. This switch controls both the element and its indicator light — if your indicator light won't turn off even though the burner is cool, this switch (not the element) is the cause.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Burner stuck on high heat regardless of the dial setting
Burner won't produce any heat at all
Hot surface indicator light stays on for hours after the burner has completely cooled
Inconsistent heating — burner doesn't hold the selected temperature level

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Range Before Starting — Photograph Wiring Before Disconnecting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically from the rear of the control panel or the underside of the cooktop, depending on your model. Photograph the wiring connections on the old switch before disconnecting anything, since correct wire placement is essential for the switch to control the right burner and indicator light. Remove the screws securing the old switch, gently pry it out, and mark or note each wire's position for reference. Disconnect the wires from the old switch and remove it fully. Install the new DG44-01002A in the same position, reconnect each wire to its original terminal exactly as photographed, and secure the mounting screws. Restore power and test the burner across its full range of settings, confirming both the heat output and the indicator light behave correctly. Tools needed: screwdriver, pliers, pen or pencil for marking wires, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My hot surface light stays on for hours even though the burner has cooled down. Is this the switch?
Yes. This is a documented symptom specific to this switch, since it controls both the surface element and its indicator light together. If the light isn't going out even though the surface itself is cool to the touch, the switch — not the element — is the correct part to replace.
My burner is stuck on high heat no matter what setting I choose. Is that the switch or the element?
It could be either, so it's worth testing both with a multimeter before replacing. Test the radiant element first — it should read between 0 and 120 ohms if it's working correctly. Then test the infinite switch itself: remove it, connect a multimeter probe to each prong, and turn the switch to an on position. No continuity indicates the switch is the issue. Several customers have confirmed this exact symptom by swapping switches between two burners and watching the problem follow the switch, which is also a reliable way to isolate the cause if you have two dual-element burners.
Should I replace the element (DG47-00022A) at the same time?
Not necessarily, but it's worth testing both parts if you're not sure which one has failed, since a bad element and a bad switch can produce overlapping symptoms. If your multimeter tests confirm only the switch has failed, replacing just this part is sufficient.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured to match the dual-element switching function, wire terminal configuration, and mounting design of the original DG44-01002A infinite switch used in compatible Samsung electric ranges.

WB03X43926 Genuine OEM GE Range Surface Burner Control Knob Set
The WB03X43926 is a genuine GE OEM surface burner knob kit, including 5 stainless steel knobs for GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café ranges. These are the knobs you turn to light and adjust each surface burner — each one fits onto a control shaft behind the panel, and its position controls the heat setting for that burner. Since this kit includes a full set of five, it's designed for replacing every burner knob on the range at once rather than mismatching a single new knob against several older, worn ones.
Over years of use, the finish on plastic-coated or stainless-finished knobs can crack, peel, or start to bubble, and the knobs themselves can become loose or worn at the point where they grip the control shaft. A full-set replacement gives your range a uniform, refreshed look while also resolving any individual knobs that have become difficult to turn or read. Weighing approximately 2.64 oz total, this kit requires no tools to install — each knob simply pulls straight off its post and the new one presses straight back on. It directly replaces AP7187858, WB03K10305, WB03K10303, WB03K10208, WB03K10221, and WB03K10294.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Range Or Shut Off Breaker Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Remove each old knob by pulling it straight off its post — on most models this requires no tools, just firm, even pressure. Align each new knob from the WB03X43926 set with its corresponding control panel position and indicator arrow, then press it firmly onto the post until it seats flush. Repeat for all five burner positions. There's no need to remove the knobs for normal baking, broiling, or self-clean use once installed. Restore power and test that each knob turns smoothly through its full range, with the markings lining up correctly against the indicator arrow at each setting. Tools needed: none.
Frequently Asked Questions
My knobs' finish is bubbling after many years. Is this the right fix?
Yes, this is a common wear pattern on older knobs — one customer described replacing 14-year-old knobs whose coating had started to bubble, and found the swap simple enough to do entirely by hand with no tools. If your knobs are showing this kind of surface wear, a full set replacement gives your range a consistent, refreshed look across all burners.
Do I need to remove these knobs before running a self-clean cycle?
No — these knobs are designed to be left in place during normal oven use, including self-clean cycles. One customer specifically noted using the self-clean feature without removing the knobs and had no issues.
Can I buy just one replacement knob instead of the full set of 5?
This particular listing is sold as a complete 5-knob set rather than individually. If only one knob has failed, you may still prefer the full set for a matching, uniform appearance across the range, especially if the remaining original knobs are also showing age. Contact our support team if you're looking for a single replacement knob instead.
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 stainless steel finish, shaft fit, and marking layout of the surface burner knobs originally installed on your range.

XPARTCO 00631633 Range Surface Burner Igniter Electrode
The XPARTCO 00631633 is an aftermarket replacement gas range surface burner igniter electrode (also called a spark electrode) compatible with select Bosch, Thermador, and Gaggenau gas ranges and cooktops in the HDI, HGI, NGM, NGMP, HDIP, and HGIP series. The surface burner igniter electrode is the ceramic-tipped spark generator located at each gas burner position on the cooktop. When the burner is turned on, the ignition system sends a high-voltage pulse to the electrode, which generates a spark across the ceramic tip to ignite the gas flowing from the burner. When the electrode cracks, chips, or becomes contaminated with grease or food residue, the burner may fail to light, click continuously without igniting, or spark intermittently.
This replacement electrode is constructed from high-quality ceramic and metal — the ceramic insulator body withstands the thermal cycling of repeated ignition, while the metal spark tip maintains reliable spark gap geometry over time. Sold individually — one electrode per order. It directly replaces AP5950372, 4162041, and PS10057850. Because a gas range typically has four or more burners with individual electrodes, compare your existing electrode's dimensions and mounting configuration before ordering to ensure a correct fit. Installs in minutes — no tools required in most cases.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Appliance Safety Warning This part is used in gas ranges. Always turn off the gas supply at the shutoff valve and unplug the range from the electrical outlet before beginning any repair. If you smell gas at any point during or after installation, leave the area immediately and contact your gas utility provider. If you are not confident working on gas appliances, have this part installed by a qualified appliance technician.
⚠️ Unplug Range and Turn Off Gas Before Starting With the range unplugged and gas supply off, remove the cooktop grates and burner caps to access the burner heads. The igniter electrode is the small ceramic component positioned beside each burner head, held in place by a mounting bracket and screw or a snap-in clip depending on the model. Disconnect the single wire connector from the old electrode. Remove the mounting screw and lift the old electrode out. Install the new 00631633 electrode in the same position, secure the mounting screw, and reconnect the wire connector. Replace the burner caps and grates. Restore power and gas supply, then test each burner for reliable ignition. If the burner still does not light after replacing the electrode, inspect the igniter wire and the electronic ignition module. Tools needed: Phillips or Torx screwdriver (for mounting bracket on some models); no tools needed on models with snap-in electrodes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the surface burner igniter electrode do?
The igniter electrode is the component that creates the spark to light each gas burner. When you turn a burner knob past the "lite" position, the range's electronic ignition module sends a series of high-voltage pulses through the igniter wiring to the electrode at that burner. The electrode generates a visible spark across its ceramic tip to the grounded burner cap or burner head, and that spark ignites the gas flowing from the burner ports. Each burner position has its own dedicated electrode — failure of one electrode affects only that burner, while other burners on the same range continue to work normally.
My burner clicks constantly even when turned off — is it the electrode?
Constant clicking when a burner is in the off position is almost always caused by moisture or food residue in the igniter system rather than a failed electrode. When liquid boilover or steam gets into the burner cap area or electrode housing, it can cause the ignition module to fire continuously. Remove the burner cap and grate from the affected burner and allow everything to dry thoroughly — an hour in a warm oven (electric only, turned off) can help. Wipe the electrode tip clean with a dry cloth. If clicking persists after the components are completely dry and clean, the electrode or the ignition module may have been damaged by the moisture and needs replacement.
How many electrodes do I need for my Bosch range?
Most Bosch gas ranges have four surface burners, each with its own dedicated igniter electrode — so a full cooktop replacement typically requires four electrodes. This listing is for one electrode. If only one burner is not lighting, you likely only need one replacement. If multiple burners are failing, order one electrode for each affected burner. Because the electrodes on compatible Bosch models use the same part number across all burner positions, one order of multiple quantities covers all positions.
Can I clean the electrode instead of replacing it?
Yes — a contaminated or greasy electrode can often be cleaned successfully rather than replaced. Remove the electrode from the burner area and gently clean the ceramic tip and metal contact with a dry cloth or a soft toothbrush. Do not use water or liquid cleaners directly on the electrode — moisture in the ceramic can cause persistent clicking. If the ceramic body is cracked or the metal tip is corroded or missing, replacement is required. If the ceramic is intact and clean but the spark is still weak or absent, the electrode's spark gap geometry may have changed from thermal expansion and a replacement is the better fix.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Bosch OEM part, but is manufactured from high-quality ceramic and metal to match the dimensions and spark performance of the original 00631633 igniter electrode.

XPARTCO WB13K21 Gas Oven Flat Igniter with Harness
The XPARTCO WB13K21 is an aftermarket replacement flat-style gas oven igniter with harness compatible with select GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore gas ranges and ovens. The oven igniter is a silicon carbide heating element mounted inside the oven next to the burner. It serves a dual purpose: it draws electrical current through the oven safety valve to hold it open, and it heats to ignition temperature to light the gas burner. The igniter must draw sufficient current — typically 3.2–3.6 amps — to hold the safety valve fully open. A weakened igniter that draws too little current will glow but never fully open the gas valve, preventing the burner from lighting.
This flat-style igniter draws 3.4–3.6 amps at 115V. The ceramic block measures 1-1/2" L, with an overall bracket/cage measuring 3-3/4"L x 2-1/8"W x 13/16"H. The harness and plug extend approximately 7-7/8" from the igniter body with female pin connectors and a double wing mounting bracket. It can be used as a bake or broil igniter replacement on compatible models. It directly replaces WB13K21, WB13K12, WB13K13, WB13K14, WB13K0012, WB13K0013, WB13K0014, WB13K0021, WB13K10009, WB13K10026, IG21, 2494, AP2020569, AH231280, EA231280, EAP231280, PS231280, and PD00001023. Note: if the connector does not match your range's harness, cut the connector and splice the wires using porcelain wire nuts — do not use standard plastic wire nuts near the oven burner. Installs in 15–30 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Appliance Safety Warning This part is installed in a gas oven. Always unplug the range and shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve before beginning any repair. If you smell gas at any point during or after installation, leave the area immediately and contact your gas utility provider. Do not restore power or gas until the repair is fully complete and all connections are secure. If you are not comfortable working on gas appliances, have this part installed by a qualified technician.
⚠️ Handle With Care — Fragile Igniter Element The silicon carbide igniter element is extremely fragile and sensitive to skin oils. Do not touch the igniter element with bare hands — oils from skin will create hot spots that prematurely burn the igniter. Handle only by the bracket, harness, and mounting wings. To install: unplug the range and shut off gas. Remove the oven racks and oven bottom panel. Disconnect the old igniter's wire connector at the connection point inside the oven. Remove the two screws securing the mounting bracket. If the new igniter's connector matches the harness, plug it in directly. If it does not match, cut the connector from the new igniter and use the included porcelain wire nuts to splice the wires to your range's existing harness — do not use plastic wire nuts. Mount the new igniter using the double wing bracket and two screws. Reinstall the oven bottom panel, restore gas and power, and run a bake cycle to confirm the igniter glows and the burner lights within 60–90 seconds. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, socket set, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My igniter glows but the burner never lights — is it the igniter?
Yes, almost certainly. A gas oven igniter that glows orange or red but does not light the burner is a classic sign of a weakened igniter. The igniter must draw enough electrical current — typically 3.2 amps or more — to hold the gas safety valve fully open. As the silicon carbide element ages, its resistance increases and it draws progressively less current. When the current drops below the threshold needed to hold the valve open, the valve never fully opens, even though the igniter appears to glow. If the igniter glows for more than 90 seconds without lighting the burner, it needs to be replaced.
Why can't I use plastic wire nuts to splice the igniter wires?
The igniter is located inside the oven cavity, directly adjacent to the gas burner, where temperatures during operation can easily exceed what standard plastic wire nuts are rated for. Plastic wire nuts can melt or deform at oven operating temperatures, potentially exposing bare wire connections and creating a short circuit or fire hazard. Porcelain wire nuts are specifically rated for high-temperature applications and are the only safe connector to use when splicing igniter wires near the oven burner. Always use porcelain — never plastic — for any wiring connection inside the oven cavity.
Can this igniter be used for both bake and broil?
Yes — on compatible GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore models, the WB13K21 can be used to replace both the bake igniter (lower burner) and the broil igniter (upper burner), as both igniters use the same part number and specifications on these models. Verify your range's parts diagram to confirm that both igniters use the WB13K21 before ordering for the broil position.
How do I test if the oven igniter has failed?
The most practical test is observation: if the igniter glows for more than 90 seconds without the burner lighting, it has weakened. You can also use a multimeter — disconnect the igniter wires and measure resistance. A working WB13K21-style igniter typically reads between 40 and 90 ohms at room temperature (a lower resistance draws more current; a very high resistance means the element is nearly failed). An open circuit (infinite resistance) means the element has burned through completely. If the igniter does not glow at all when the oven is turned on, it has completely failed electrically.
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 from silicon carbide, ceramic, metal, and plastic to match the amperage draw, dimensions, and performance of the original WB13K21 oven igniter.
