The Simmer Control is an OEM component specifically designed for Bosch ranges. It regulates gas flow to provide the lowest possible flame setting needed for delicate cooking tasks. Precise control allows for uniform, attentive simmering.

Symptoms of a bad simmer control include inconsistent or unadjustable flame heights on low settings. Cracks, damage, or wear of internal mechanisms over time can also cause unstable flame control.

Causes of bad simmer control can be normal wear and tear issues like dirt buildup impeding mechanisms. Accidental impact or overheating leading to cracks are other causes for replacement.

Symptoms of a bad simmer control include:

  • Flames that surge or fluctuate below the lowest settings   
  • Inability to adjust the flame down sufficiently low
  • Burners that shut off or cause overflow flooding on low-heat  

This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador and some Kenmore ranges. Replace for dependable, Fine-tuned low-heat performance.

Questions & Answers

For Bosch Simmer Control (Part Number: OEM13079046)

1 Answer

Ryan, This unit would have 1 simmer control on it but 2 xlo burners. The burners that are not XLO will work with a match and no power but the XLO have solenoids that should keep it from lighting with a match.

Hello Al, you'll need to check the ignition switches 00189008 on the burner valves. If these check good for continuity in the light position then the issue could be the spark module 00753257. Also, please make sure the burner head and cap are clean preventing it from a good spark. Hope this helps!

Don for Model Number PSC364GD

Left two burners won't come on unless I unplug the power. When using the burners for an extended time like holiday dinners, they shut off. The igniters go on by themselves and sometimes I can hear rapid clicking. Right side and griddle work fine. In reviewing the unit electrical schematic I concluded the simmer module is at fault so I ordered one. I saw you had a compatibility tool on your site and it said this AP4359679 simmer control module was not compatible with my stove top. I used the like for my specific model and found the simmer module part number to be the same. So, is it or isn't it compatible? The wires connections match the schematic but you said to someone else the pots aren't compatible. Please advise before module gets here tomorrow. Thanks.

1 Answer

Don, Yes the simmer control that you ordered would be the correct part for your unit. There are various reasons the compatibility tool will not show compatible but this is the correct part for your unit.

Hello Mike, You will most likely need to replace the simmer control 00645446. To access these, the main top of the unit will have to be raised. This is done by removal of the burner bases and in some cases, this may entail removal of the unit from the countertop.

Hello Joel, This sounds like a possible issue with the gas pressure to the unit. You should have the utility board come out and test the pressure since this will cause a buzzing noise from the regulator and lighting issues.
