By: Bosch
Part Number: OEM13079046
Manufacturer Part Number: 00645446

The Simmer Control is an OEM component specifically designed for Bosch ranges. It regulates gas flow to provide the lowest possible flame setting needed for delicate cooking tasks. Precise control allows for uniform, attentive simmering.

Symptoms of a bad simmer control include inconsistent or unadjustable flame heights on low settings. Cracks, damage, or wear of internal mechanisms over time can also cause unstable flame control.

Causes of bad simmer control can be normal wear and tear issues like dirt buildup impeding mechanisms. Accidental impact or overheating leading to cracks are other causes for replacement.

Symptoms of a bad simmer control include:

  • Flames that surge or fluctuate below the lowest settings   
  • Inability to adjust the flame down sufficiently low
  • Burners that shut off or cause overflow flooding on low-heat  

This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador and some Kenmore ranges. Replace for dependable, Fine-tuned low-heat performance.

Mark for Model Number SGSX456

Customer reports that unit start "sparking" all by it's self at varying times of the day and night but very intermitantly otherwise when being used works fine. Turing power to unit OFF then ON again solves the problem---untill the next time. Both potentiometers have been replaced and no spark switches are "shorted". It must be either the Control Module or the Spark Module--but which one? If I try what you suggest and that does not solve the problem can I return the part? Thanks, Mark

Answer

Hello Mark. Check and make sure there is no moisture in the unit. If there is moisture there, it will cause the unit to spark like that. If there is no moisture there, you will need to replace the control unit 00645446 on the unit. Also, make sure none of the switches are bad on the unit or have any moisture in them.
