Description

This transient suppressor protects the appliance's electronic control by absorbing power-line spikes and electrical transients. Replacing a failed suppressor helps restore stable control operation and helps protect sensitive components from surge-related damage.

• Clamps voltage transients on the AC line to shield the control and related electronics
• Helps reduce interference that can cause erratic displays or unexpected resets
• Failure may leave the control dead, cause intermittent operation, or trip the household breaker
• Often shows visible heat damage, cracking, or discoloration when defective

What's included: One transient suppressor. Install notes:

• Disconnect power at the breaker and verify no voltage is present before servicing
• Access the control compartment; the suppressor is typically located near the electronic control or power input
• Photograph wiring and transfer one lead at a time to ensure correct connections and snug terminals
• Inspect and replace any heat-damaged wires or terminals before reassembly and test
