Star Mfg 8002 Speed Control Potentiometer W/White Wires 9-1/2" & 14-1/2" 120V

Used in commercial kitchen equipment, this speed control potentiometer helps manage heat levels and speed settings so machines can run smoothly and consistently. It works on a 120V electrical system with a 200-ohm resistance design, sending controlled signals through its internal circuit to adjust heating or motor speed depending on how the equipment is set up. The white wire leads make it easier to connect, and the built-in diode helps keep the electrical flow stable, reducing the chances of uneven or unstable operation in busy kitchen environments. In places like restaurants, cafeterias, and sandwich shops, this part is commonly used in equipment such as toasters, broilers, and ovens, where accurate control is important for good cooking results. If the control part becomes old or stops working properly, the machine may heat unevenly or respond slowly. Replacing it helps bring the equipment back to normal operation, improving consistency and making daily kitchen work more reliable.
