Description

This thermal switch is a temperature-sensitive safety device used in many ranges and wall ovens. It opens or closes an electrical circuit at a set temperature to protect internal components and help maintain safe operation. What it does:

• Monitors temperature and opens/closes a circuit at a specified threshold
• Protects the appliance from overheat conditions
• Cuts power to heating circuits or controls a cooling/vent fan, depending on model
• Common symptoms of failure include: oven or certain functions won't run, unit shuts off mid-cycle, or operation returns only after cooling

What's included:

• 1 thermal switch

Install notes:

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access location varies by model
• Move wires over one at a time to the new switch and secure it firmly to its mounting surface
• After replacement, verify proper airflow and cooling to prevent repeat overheating
