I suppose it's ok as long as I remember that the two big burners act a bit differently at the mid-range settings. It has a bit of a different profile than the stock remaining control on the rear 8' burner, with the Med Hi and Lo Hi on the new control being significantly hotter than that of the older stock control. But in between is a scratch catching kind of action that bespeaks poor workmanship. There are the expected detents at Simmer, Hi, and Off. To my dismay, the action of the control was anything but smooth. After about an hour I finally got it in place, and restored power to the range. The replacement control looked fine, so I set about installing it toot suite. Complicating matters is that the sealing of the front control panel against spillovers from the range is inadequate, so most of the screws were rusting in place and needed to be replaced once they were coaxed out of their spots. There's a certain order that must be followed to access the wiring and front controls, and woe unto he who ignores it. Being a compact appliance, a drop-in 30' range, this process is probably more difficult than on a full size range. I got the replacement infinite control for the malfunctioning 8' burner this afternoon. I started this discussion over in the Radiantube thread, but figured it would be better to start a new one.
