The switch that I need to replace, is the selector for the various types of cooking, such as bake, broil, air fry, etc. It is a dual switch, FZ31-9e. It is the half that is on the rear that is scorched. The wheel inside is what determines if it is a single unit, or a double, like mine. The part that you need, is the same part number as mine, but it has a different rating. Mine is 20A 125V. I think yours is 16A 125V. It is a Hua Lai Li FZ41-9e 16A-125V(not the far more common FZ31-9. I do not know what that "e" at the end means, but it makes it very difficult to find). Your part is available on Ebay. Your search on EBay will show the switch for sale for $79. However, if you continue to search, or maybe go to that sellers store, you will see that they offer the same part for around $30, and also $50...
Good luck! Simple removal and replacement will fix your problem. I have to go find my version, which is a 6pin 7 position back half of a double switch. Unfortunately, the wheel inside of the switch is partially melted, or I could put it in a switch that was rated for the same amps. I could even use my pins, if the other switch didn't have enough, or they bent the wrong way, or if they were a lighter guage. The only part that I really need is the wheel inside. I thought about 3D printing it, but I don't think I can find a type of plastic that is as durable while hot, and I am not sure of the exact shape of a tiny portion of the wheel. I even thought of using JB weld to build up the part that melted. I cut off the past that scorched, but it wasn't that much, and I think that I can determine the original shape. Trial and error(unplugged) or let me know if I need small changes. The problem in the end, is whether it would happen again. Before mine broke it got slightly difficult to turn. I should have dealt with it right then... Oh well, lesson learned. I figured that I can get a regurgitated(I mean refurbished, that was an honest mistake in spelling, and my phone thought that I meant to use that word. I will leave it because it is kind of funny!) one for $100, and throw that on the counter. I will keep all of the switches out of the old one, though. I may even pop the case off of the new, regurgitated
one, and see if they replaced my part or yours, and see what they replaced it with. I imagine that they did, as it is a liability.
Thanks and good luck!
