Hal for Model Number PRSE484GG Lighting of the two left burners on the 17 year old range became unreliable. Sometimes the burners would light and other times they would not. Our local Thermador repair specialist replaced both potentiometers with part #422748. Now the range works normally. My wife and I are concerned, however, by an answer to a question by another customer of this site. The question was by Steve S. and it concerned model RDDS30VQW. The question was would changing the potentiometers to #422748 without changing the simmer control (#422882) cause any problems. The response was that potentiometers and simmer controllers had to be changed as a kit. Changing the potentiometers without changing the simmer controller would result in destruction of the simmer controller and posed a fire risk. Our question is do we also risk destroying electronic components of the range/oven by changing the potentiometers only. Is there a fire risk in doing so?
Answer Hello Hal. No, that is only if the kit is needed. In your case, they could just get the potentiometers. Thanks. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, September 27, 2017
