Description

This control assembly regulates the oven's upper heating element and includes a thermal cut-off to help prevent overheating. It restores proper temperature control and helps the range heat more evenly. What it does:

• Controls power to the oven's upper heating element for stable cooking temperatures
• Incorporates a thermal cut-off that interrupts power if temperatures exceed safe limits
• Commonly replaces a failed control when the oven won't heat, overheats, or has irregular baking
• Works as the electrical control interface between the range's user inputs and the upper element

What's included: One upper element regulator control with integrated thermal cut-off. Install notes:

• Disconnect power at the breaker before inspecting or replacing this part to avoid shock.
• Access typically requires removing the oven back panel or control housing; follow the manufacturer service manual.
• Handle the control and thermal cut-off carefully to avoid bending terminals or damaging connectors.
