Abstract

A microprocessor controlled electric range having a solid state switch selectively associated with each surface heating element and a solid state switch in series and common to the circuits of each of the selectively associated switches. Each of the switches is controlled by a microprocessor and, if one of the selectively associated switches fails to a short circuit, the subsequent energization of all heating elements is disabled.
