A silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) used on appliance control boards to regulate power to motors, igniters or other loads. Replacing a faulty SCR can restore proper power switching and steady operation of the driven component. What it does:
- Acts as a power-switching semiconductor in appliance electronic control circuits to allow current flow only when triggered.
- Enables controlled delivery of voltage/current to motors, igniters and similar loads on the control board.
- A failing SCR can cause symptoms such as no power to a motor or igniter, intermittent operation, or complete failure of the driven component.
- Match the SCR package and electrical ratings to the control board before replacing.
What's included: One SCR 10-16 part Install notes:
- Disconnect all power to the appliance before accessing control electronics to avoid shock or damage.
- Take electrostatic-discharge (ESD) precautions; handle the SCR by its body and avoid touching leads.
- Package orientation and electrical ratings on the control board and wiring before installation.
