    Replace old electric cooker ring control

    My old electric cooker (1985) has 4 rings, 2 of them are always warm when the rotary control is OFF, otherwise the cooker works fine. I expect the ring controls need to be replaced. Do I need a regulator or a simmerstat, or are they the same thing? The rings are each 2KW. Thanks
