Bauknecht Energy Regulator (Infinite Switch) Malfunction

Electric cooktop zone cycles on and off too quickly or does not regulate heat properly

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Worn contacts in infinite switch, Internal bimetal failure, Loose knob shaft, Incorrect wiring of switch

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker.

Compare zones: If only one zone behaves erratically, its regulator is suspect.
Access controls: Remove the front control panel to access the infinite switches.
Inspect switch: Check for heat discoloration or melted plastic. Ensure all wires are firmly connected.
Replace switch: Transfer wires one by one from the old switch to the new Bauknecht regulator, following the wiring diagram.

Warning: Miswiring can cause continuous heating or no heat; double-check connections.
