I'm afraid that is not enough information to properly identify the appliance in question. Only the complete model number *off the appliance itself* will.

I was told this was a heating accelerator.

It is a temperature sensor.

There was a round spring loaded sensor in the middle of the burner which I removed, then tied the loose wires together.

The switch/valve used in conjunction with it will not function properly without a working sensor in place. That sensor is what tells the control what temperature the pot/pan is at so it can act upon that information. Without that information, it will not work properly.

That is to be expected now.
Please post the appliance's model number to we can look up what appliance design you're dealing with and then maybe we can provide some suggestions.
