Part 00605922 Range Surface Element Switch
Purpose
Regulates electrical current to heating elements.
Details
This genuine OEM surface element switch—also known as an energy regulator—controls the level of power transmitted to the electric radiant or hobs cooking elements on a range or cooktop surface. Mounted directly behind the control dial panel, it cycles power on and off to maintain chosen temperature settings. When the internal mechanical contacts degrade or experience electrical shorting, the switch will fail. Typical symptoms of failure include a cooktop element that fails to heat at all, an element that stays locked on maximum heat regardless of dial position, or a continuous burning smell emitting from behind the control knobs.
Included Items
Includes one energy regulator switch module. Required tools verified by repair documentation include a screwdriver set, nut driver, and needle-nose pliers.
