Description

This silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) controls power flow to heating and motor circuits, restoring proper electronic regulation in appliances that use SCR-based control boards. Replaces a failed SCR to help return normal heat and motor control. What it does:

• Acts as a switch to regulate current to heating elements or motors when the control board signals it.
• Common symptom: unit fails to heat or run when the control board is commanding operation.
• Common symptom: intermittent or no power to specific circuits controlled by the SCR.
• Helps prevent erratic operation when the SCR is functioning properly.

What's included: One silicon controlled rectifier (specified 8-15 x 7/16 stud) as shown. Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Handle the SCR carefully; avoid bending the stud or damaging terminals.
• Mount and torque stud to specified appliance hardware; ensure good electrical contact and any required heat sink connection.
