Expert Review
If your contact grill has suddenly stopped heating when you lower the lid, this little micro switch is very often the culprit. It's a key part that tells the grill it's safe to power up. For any qualified technician, it’s a quick and simple swap that will have your grill back to turning out perfect paninis and grilled items in no time.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always disconnect the grill from the mains power first.
- Note the wiring configuration before removing the old switch.
- Ensure the new switch actuator is correctly positioned.
- Test the grill's heating function before full reassembly.

A: No, this switch is specifically designed for Buffalo models CR836 and DR825 only.
Q: Is this a difficult part to install?
A: For safety and warranty reasons, we always recommend that any electrical component is fitted by a qualified commercial catering engineer.
