I'm looking for a replacement indicator light for a thermostatically controlled power cord for a Heritage 'the Rock' electric cooker. The cord nameplate says Model HPR-02. The rating is 125V, 15A.

Hi Terry,
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that light appears more or less orange when it's on, doesn't it? If so, that would confirm my belief that we're looking at a neon bulb; they were a favorite of appliance manufacturers for many decades. If you have a voltmeter you can confirm that it's got 120V on either connection, but from your pictures I'm pretty sure of my diagnosis. There may be a resistor connected to the bulb; if there is you'll want to keep it unless the bulb you get comes with one.
You can get them pretty much anywhere; although you can find them cheaper, here's a pretty inexpensive one on Amazon.
Amazon.com: Eiko A1A T-2 Wire Terminal Halogen Bulb, 105-125V/0.6 Amp, Neon : Everything Else
A search for "110V Neon Bulb" will turn up lots of choices. It looks like you'll need to solder it in or use some wire crimps; I can't see exactly how it's connected to the circuit.
Hopefully that'll get you going!

Can you tell what kind of light it is, e.g., incandescent, LED or neon? Most old school temperature controllers used a neon bulb, but not sure about what they're using on modern day ones.

I believe it is incandescent. It looks like it's line voltage (120V). It's about 4mm dia. and 1.5cm tall.

@terrytoth Do you have the controller open? If so, that would be great for us to be able to see what you see, especially if you can get us a good, high resolution closeup of the bulb. Perhaps include pictures of whatever the bulb is attached or wired to as well.
