This limit switch is a position-sensing safety switch used in cooking appliances. It signals the control when a mechanism reaches the correct position, helping the unit start or stop related functions reliably.
- Detects the position of a latch, cam, or actuator and opens/closes the circuit accordingly
- Allows the control to enable features only when the correct position is reached
- Common symptoms: related feature won't start or finish, motor runs but never "signals done," intermittent operation, or no continuity change when the switch is actuated
- Restores dependable interlock/position feedback to the control
What's included: 1 limit switch Install notes:
