Switch for electric stove

Nowadays traditional gas stoves lose their popularity. First, more modern and fashionable models appeared on the market, for example, induction hobs . Secondly, residents of apartments in many high-rise buildings by default install electrical plates. Therefore, the issue of their equipping and repair always remains topical.

The principle of operation of the switch on electric cookers

The manual control of the heating capacity of the burners and the operating modes of the electric stoves is carried out by means of special switches. This device is a rotary stepped mechanism, the principle of which is based on changing the connection scheme when turning the handle. In this way, it is possible to regulate the intensity of heating the working surface of the electric stove. As for the ovens, the switches change the direction of the heat flow by switching the lower and upper, as well as the convection heating elements.

Types of power switches for electric stoves

Such details are required both for conventional electric cookers, for flat hobs, and for glass-ceramic panels. If the switch on your plate fails, it can be replaced with a new one, original ("native") or universal, compatible with several similar models. On sale you can find a power switch for almost any electric stove: Hansa, Electrolux, Beko, Gorenje, Samsung, AEG, Bosch, Zanussi, Whirlpool. And, of course, not only imported, but also domestic models of electric cookers need switches: Ladoga, Lada, Electra, Taiga, Darina, Omga, Comfort, Dream and other

So, there are 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7-position switches, etc., where the digit denotes the number of operating modes of the plate. Most models have 7 positions, these are the most common switches in our market. The stroke of the switch for an electric stove can be not only stepped, but also smooth. A plate equipped with such a device, which is called a power regulator, operates in the designated temperature range.
