This silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) regulates high/low power output in the appliance's control circuit to help the heater or motor receive the correct voltage during operation. Replacing a faulty SCR restores proper power switching and control. What it does:

• Controls high/low voltage output to the heating or motor circuit for staged power delivery
• Helps maintain correct power switching during heat or motor cycles
• Commonly linked to symptoms like weak or no heating, intermittent operation, or failure to switch between high/low modes
• Works as a direct replacement component in the appliance's power-control assembly

• One silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) unit

Install notes:

• Turn off and unplug the appliance (or switch off circuit breaker) before servicing
