We've got a range that has an element that only is off or full on. A little but of research shows it's almost definitely the infinite switch. The cheapest I can find a replacement is around $250 . The range is 8 years old, and it's not really worth spending that to fix, so I was wondering if there's any way to repair the switch itself. From what I understand,it's a bi-metal switch that turns on and off based on where the dial is set, so doesn't seem like it's too complicated.
Just wondering if anyone knows what causes this switch to fail in this particular way, and if it's possible to repair? I've got a good amount of experience with DC electronics, but very little with AC, ouside of pliers in the socket when I was younger.
