After an initial problem confirming it was the correct switch for my stove, if your stove has the exact same switch you are replacing, it is an extremely easy fix. The actual switch in my stove was different so I needed a little assistance, but this part was the correct replacement part.

I opened the main breaker and removed power from the stove. Then simply remove the back cover of the upper stove, I removed the wires one at a time and installed them in the correct terminal on the new infinite switch so there was no confusion or notes needed. Then placed the new switch in position and attached to the stove. Returned power to the stove and checked the operation of the burner. It appears to have corrected the problem. We will cook on it and verify that it is corrected..
