COOKING <strong>UPDATE</strong>S<br />

KITCHENAID FREESTANDING ELECTRIC RANGE<br />

ACCU-SIMMER SWITCH<br />

We have seen a condition in the field with the accu-simmer rocker switch used to reduce<br />

the temperature of the right front burner to simmer temperatures. This switch is<br />

used on S-line KitchenAid Freestanding ranges (KERS205SBL0 and KERK901SSS0).<br />

The problem is the switch will not hold up to the high voltage going through it and will<br />

arch or short if the customer sets the switch after the burner is on. The strip circuits<br />

show how the switch is used in a 240 volt circuit and a 120 volt circuit. Engineering<br />

is putting together a field fix kit that will include a new rocker switch, 2 current limit<br />

thermistors one for the L1 side of the circuit and one for the Neutral side of the circuit.<br />

The kit will be available within the next couple of weeks.<br />
