This thermal cutoff is a temperature-sensing safety thermostat that helps prevent overheating by interrupting power when excessive heat is detected. Use it to restore proper safety protection in affected appliance heater or control circuits. What it does:

• Monitors temperature and opens the circuit if heat rises above the designed threshold
• Helps prevent overheating-related damage or fire risk in heating systems
• Stops power to heating elements when a fault causes unsafe temperatures
• Commonly used with ovens, dryers, and other heater-equipped appliances as a fail-safe

• One thermal cutoff

• Power must be disconnected before inspection or replacement to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the part carefully and observe wire connection orientation; replace with same type only
• If other components show heat damage, inspect the whole heating circuit and controls

Replacement switch burner igniter that produces the spark needed to light a gas burner, restoring reliable ignition so burners light quickly and consistently for safer cooking. What it does:

• Generates the ignition spark to light a gas cooktop or range burner.
• Restores normal ignition when a burner won't spark or lights inconsistently.
• Stops intermittent clicking or repeated attempts to light caused by a failed igniter.
• Works as the electrical spark source paired with the burner valve and cap.

• Disconnect electrical power and shut off the gas supply before servicing.
• Access typically requires removing the cooktop or control panel—handle panels and wiring gently.
• Reconnect wires to matching terminals; do not force connectors or bend contacts.
