574211 Genuine Oven Function Selector Switch for Fisher & Paykel Ovens, Replacement Mode Switch

Part 574211 is a genuine Fisher & Paykel function switch for ovens. It's the selector switch behind the function knob that chooses the cooking mode, such as bake, grill or fan forced, by sending power to the right elements and fan. There's no published model list for 574211, so check it against your oven's parts list using the model and serial number, or the number on the old switch.

Fisher & Paykel oven only working on some functions?

When you turn the function knob, the selector switch connects a set of contacts for each cooking mode. The thermostat then controls the heat, but the function switch decides which elements, fans and lights get power. Worn or burnt contacts show up as an oven that heats on some functions but not others, a fan or light that won't come on, a knob that feels loose or crunchy, or power cutting in and out as you wiggle the knob. Scorch marks on the switch terminals are a giveaway.

Changing the function switch

Most ovens are wired straight into the switchboard, so turn off the oven circuit there and get a licensed electrician to swap the switch. Label every wire before removing it from the old switch, as the terminal layout must be copied exactly. Fit the new switch, refit the knob and test every function, checking each element and the fan come on as they should.
