The pilot contacts run the indicator light that shows a plate is on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWestinghouse hotplate stuck on high or not heating\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn infinite switch, also called an energy regulator or simmerstat, controls a hotplate by cycling power on and off. Turn the knob up and the plate gets power for a bigger share of each cycle, turn it down and the off periods get longer. Inside is a small bimetal strip and a set of contacts, and both wear. Signs of failure include a plate that only runs flat out, a plate that won't heat, settings that make no difference, a knob that turns loosely, or a pilot light that stays off while the plate works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Westinghouse part 4055980595\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInfinite switch with pilot light contacts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch only, knob not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed for 16 Westinghouse cooktop models including PAC516E and PHC364\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInfinite switch with pilot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting a cooktop infinite switch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectric cooktops are normally hard wired, so in Australia this switch must be fitted by a licensed electrician. Isolate the circuit at the switchboard before the cooktop is lifted or the control panel is opened. Photograph the terminal layout on the old switch first, because the pilot and element connections need to go back exactly as they were. Test each setting once it is in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this come with a knob?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This listing is the infinite switch on its own, so reuse your existing knob if it is in good shape.
