• a push rod movable in an up-down direction between a first position at which the micro-switch assembly is in the ON state and a second position at which the micro-switch assembly is in the OFF state, wherein the cooker cover actuates the push rod to the second position when the cooker cover is in the closing state and at the unsealing position;
• a front housing having a second mounting hole within which the push rod is movably disposed in the up-down direction;
• a rear housing coupled with the front housing;
