If the oven heating up good, then most likely you have all 4 burner switches go bad at the same time. That is very untypical. Unless they went one by one. I recommend you to replace one switch at the time and see if it will fix the problem. You can return any unused parts even if they have been installed. The left/rear and r/front infinite switch Part number: AP3046996 The right/rear infinite switch Part number: AP3010400 The l/front infinite switch Part number: AP3030161 Her are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for Whirlpool RS696PXGQ2 RANGE \| AppliancePartsPros.com Good luck. Post the results.
