What is this part?
- This is a heat control switch (also called an "infinite switch" or "simmerstat"). It's used in electric stoves or cooktops to control how hot the burners get.
- It has a built-in light in the shaft (where the knob goes), so you don't need a separate light on the control panel to show it's on.
How does it work?
- It turns the burner on and off repeatedly to control the temperature.
- For example, if you set it to a low setting (like 25%), it turns the burner on for a short time, then off, then on again—so it's not always at full heat.
- Even though the burner is either fully on or fully off, this on-off cycle creates an average temperature that feels like low heat.
For the curious and technical-minded:
- This idea goes back to a 1921 patent by General Electric for use in medical devices. The modern version used in stoves today was developed in 1975 by Harper Wyman Company. It added features like auto-reset, an indicator light, and use in kitchen appliances.
Key Features:
- Simple to install
- Built-in neon light shows when it's on
How to install it (Please note that, electrical products should be installed by electricians):
- Turn off power to the appliance.
- Remove the top cover and take off the knob.
- Unscrew the old switch.
- Move the wires one at a time to the new switch (they usually just plug in).
- Screw the new switch into place.
- Push the knob back on.
- Replace and screw the top cover back.
- Turn the power back on and you're done!
