WB1 Heat Control Replacement for West Bend Liquid Core Electric Saucepans, Skillets, Woks & Fondue Pots
Factory-Authorized WB1 Replacement • 1-Year Warranty
Restore your vintage electric cookware with a factory-authorized WB1 Heat Control replacement from Health Craft Cookware.
Designed for many West Bend-manufactured Liquid Core electric saucepans, Oil Core electric skillets, electric fry pans, woks and fondue pots marked:
USE WB#1 CONTROL ONLY
If this marking appears near your appliance's heat-control receptacle, this is the WB1 replacement designed for it.

Replace the Control — Not the Cookware
A worn heat control can cause uneven heating, overheating, intermittent power or complete loss of heat.
In many cases, the cookware is still perfectly usable. Replacing the WB1 control can put your favorite electric skillet or saucepan back into service without replacing the entire appliance.
WB1 Features
- Factory-Authorized Replacement
- Accurate Thermostat Temperature Control
- Heavy-Duty Construction
- Durable 40-Inch Power Cord
- Easy Plug-In Installation
- 1-Year Factory Warranty
How to Confirm Compatibility
Check the metal receptacle where the heat control plugs into your cookware.
If it is marked:
