        Global Components | Thermostat Energy Regulator 240V 15A | Simmerstat 6mm Shaft

        The Global Components MP-101 is a thermostat energy regulator rated 240V 15A, designed to control hotplate elements and grill switches on cooktops and stoves. The MP-101 features an SPSC pilot dial and a 6mm plastic shaft, making it a universal replacement suitable for many residential cooktop models across brands including Simpson, Chef, Westinghouse, Fisher & Paykel, and Kleenmaid. The MP-101 simmerstat allows precise temperature control for simmering and slow-cooking applications.

        Cooktop simmerstats fail without warning, leaving the stovetop stuck on full heat or unable to control temperature. A failed simmerstat means the cook loses the ability to maintain a gentle simmer for sauces, soups, and delicate dishes. Replacement controls need to match the original shaft diameter and terminal configuration to fit the cutout on the cooktop body. Universal simmerstats suit most residential repairs when the original simmerstat is no longer available or the specific model is discontinued.

        Licensed electricians stock universal simmerstats like the MP-101 as standard replacements on job sites because they work across many cooktop brands without needing to special-order a brand-specific part. A quick visual check confirms shaft diameter and terminal count, and the MP-101 delivers prompt dispatch and reliable installation into existing cooktop wiring. The 6mm shaft and pilot dial are standard on most modern stoves. Customers value the speedy delivery so the cooktop is back to full functionality within days rather than weeks waiting for a specialist part.

        Features

        • SPSC pilot dial — allows precise control of heat intensity for simmering and slow-cooking applications without overshooting temperature.
        • 240V 15A rating — matched to the thermal capacity of standard residential cooktop element circuits and most typical stove configurations.
        • 6mm plastic shaft — the most common shaft size found on modern cooktops, reducing the need to special-order variant sizes.
        • Universal terminal configuration — works with a wide range of cooktop and stove models from Simpson, Chef, Westinghouse, Fisher & Paykel, and Kleenmaid without adapter plates or rework.
        • Black casing — durable powder-coated finish resists thermal stress and does not degrade under the high ambient temperatures around cooktop elements.
        • Hotplate and grill control — controls both hotplate element power (for simmering) and grill elements (for roasting), covering multiple cooking functions on a single cooktop unit.
        • Original equipment design — manufactured to original specifications, ensuring precise fit and wiring compatibility without custom installation steps.
        • Fast replacement turnaround — dispatched quickly and arrives within 3 days Australia-wide so cooktops are back in service without extended downtime.
        • Licensed electrician fit — installation requires appropriate electrical qualifications and must comply with AS/NZS 3000 wiring standards for safe operation.
        • One-year warranty — domestic and commercial warranty covering manufacturing defects, with return to Sparky Direct for claims and replacement processing.

        Where to use

        • Simpson cooktops and stoves — the MP-101 is a direct replacement for simmerstat controls that have failed or reached end of life on Simpson electric cooktops and built-in ovens.
        • Westinghouse and Chef appliances — compatible with cooktop and stove models from Westinghouse and Chef brand ranges where the shaft diameter and terminal count match the original.
        • Kleenmaid ceramic cooktops — works as a replacement simmerstat for Kleenmaid ceramic cooktop models CH13, CH14, and CH15 and similar ceramic hob configurations.
        • Fisher & Paykel cooktops — suits Fisher & Paykel electric cooktops and stoves where the 6mm shaft and universal terminal design match the existing mounting.
        • Rental properties and share houses — landlords and property managers use the MP-101 to restore faulty cooktops quickly, minimising tenant downtime and keeping maintenance costs predictable.
        • Appliance repair technicians and sparks — the 6mm shaft size and standard terminal configuration mean the MP-101 covers most residential replacement jobs without needing to stock multiple simmerstat variants.

        The Global Components MP-101 is not suitable for commercial catering equipment, high-powered professional ranges, or cooktops with non-standard shaft sizes or terminal configurations. Do not use the MP-101 as a replacement where the original control has a different shaft diameter (4mm or 8mm) or where terminal connections do not match the standard wiring layout. Installation outside AS/NZS 3000 compliance voids the warranty and creates electrical safety hazards.

        Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Global Components MP-101 | INFINITE CONTROL SPSC PILOT 6mm Shaft | Simmerstat (MP-101)

        "Item was delivered promptly, installed and worked without a hitch." — TomLynn

        "Good quality simmerstat that fitted directly into a westinghouse ceramic cooktop." — Greg

        "Dispatched quickly, contact was good, arrived fast." — Michael

        (MP-101)

        The MP-101 is rated 240V 15A, standard for residential cooktop element circuits. Always confirm the element wattage of the original control and divide by 240V to check the current rating before fitting a replacement.

        The MP-101 suits Simpson, Chef, Westinghouse, Fisher & Paykel, and Kleenmaid cooktops where the 6mm shaft and standard terminal configuration match the original simmerstat. Photograph the original control and note the shaft size before ordering to confirm compatibility. If the original has a different shaft diameter (4mm or 8mm), the MP-101 will not fit.

        SPSC stands for Single Pole Single Circuit with pilot indicator. The pilot dial allows fine-tuned adjustment of heat intensity for simmering and slow cooking. It gives the user precise control to maintain low, steady heat without overshooting temperature on delicate cooking tasks.

        Installation of the MP-101 must be carried out by a licensed electrician. The control connects directly into the cooktop's 240V circuit and requires compliance with AS/NZS 3000 wiring standards. Any installation outside professional standards voids the warranty and creates electrical hazards.

        The MP-101 carries a one-year warranty covering manufacturing defects. Warranty is on a return-to-Sparky-Direct basis, with warranty starting from the invoice date. Installation by a licensed electrician is required; warranties are void if the product is fitted by an unlicensed person.

        The MP-101 is dispatched quickly and typically arrives within 3 days Australia-wide via standard courier. Delivery timeframe depends on the courier network and your location; regional and remote areas may take longer. Order status and tracking information are provided after dispatch.

        The MP-101 controls both hotplate elements and grill elements. It is used to regulate the power supplied to whichever function is in use — hotplates for simmering on the stovetop and grills for roasting in the oven. It is a single-function simmerstat covering both cooking modes.

        The Global Components MP-101 is available online from Sparky Direct, with Australia-wide delivery to any state or territory including regional areas. Sparky Direct is an Australian electrical wholesaler established in 2005, supplying more than 500,000 customers with transparent trade pricing.

        Perfect service on 1 July 2018

        I purchased two Simmerstat MP 101 over the Internet, they arrived in less than 48 hours. A marking number on them was not the same as shown on the website photo, so I sent an e-mail asking if they are the same. I got a reply within 20 minutes. Impressed and very happy with your service, tank you.
