Technical specifications:

• Function: Control the temperature level (low to high) of the upper eye in the electric stove.

• Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of devices GE (General Electric)، Hotpoint، وKenmore.

• Mechanism of action: The switch changes the average power reaching the heater based on the mode you choose; On the low setting, the switch closes the circuit for short periods, and on the high setting, it leaves it open for long periods.

Symptoms of damage 

1. Loss of control: The eye always operates at maximum temperature regardless of the key position, or does not heat up at all.

2. The eye is not working: If the heater itself is intact (checked in millimeters) but the eye does not heat up, the internal switch has often burned out.

3. Continuous "ticking" sound: Hear a strange, constant clicking sound coming from the control panel, indicating wear on the switch's internal contact points.

4. Melting in wires: When you disassemble the control panel, you may find signs of charring or melting at the ends of the wires connected to the switch.

Installation and maintenance tips

• Safety: The power must be disconnected remove the stove from the main breaker before touching any switch.

• Verification: Before unscrewing the damaged key, Photograph the wires It is connected. Switches have multiple terminals (P1, P2, H1, H2, L1, L2), and a connection error may result in an immediate short circuit.

• Visual inspection: Make sure the wires connecting the switch are not brittle or burnt out. If the wire ends are damaged, the damaged part must be cut and new ends (Connectors) installed to ensure a good connection.

• Compatibility: Always make sure that the model number on the old switch (printed on its side) matches the new one, as switches may look similar on the outside but differ in electrical durability.
