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 />
