Description
The BKI S0112 is a genuine OEM over-temperature / hi-limit switch (sometimes called “hi-limit safety switch” / “switch, overtemperature”) used in BKI (Barbecue King) cooking / warming / oven equipment. Its role is to shut off or signal when temperatures exceed safe limits, preventing overheating and potential damage or fire.

💡 Tech Tip
-
Make sure to mount the hi-limit switch in the correct location (per the original spec): the positioning is crucial so it senses the actual oven temperature properly. If it’s mounted too far or somewhere cooler, it might not act when needed.
-
Check that the wiring and electrical connectors are in good shape: loose or corroded terminal connections may prevent the switch from working correctly.
-
When replacing, always use an OEM or equivalent part rated for the same temperature cutoff and for your equipment type—mixing switches with different ratings can lead to safety issues.
-
After install, test the safety function: run the unit and verify that the hi-limit opens at the correct temperature (or triggers as expected) and that the oven shuts safely if a fault is induced (if that’s allowed/testable).
📌 Note
-
If you have the model & serial number of your oven / warming cabinet, double-check against BKI’s parts diagram or manual to ensure compatibility.
-
Because it’s a safety device, using the correct OEM specification is important for regulatory / agency compliance.
-
This part isn’t particularly large, but its cost tends to be higher because safety switches are often specialized / certified.
