This silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) is an electronic switching device used in appliance control circuitry to regulate power to motors or heating circuits. Replacing a faulty SCR restores reliable power control and helps resolve intermittent or failed operation. What it does:

• Controls and modulates electrical current in control boards and power circuits
• Allows timed or variable power delivery to heating elements or motors in appliances
• Helps stop intermittent operation caused by a failed switching device
• Commonly replaced when an appliance experiences no heat, no motor run, or erratic performance

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electric shock
• Handle with ESD precautions; avoid touching terminals and static-sensitive areas
• Install the replacement SCR with the same orientation and secure mounting as the original
