140055946010 Genuine Solid Hotplate Element 1000W 145mm for Electrolux Group Electric Cooktops and Stoves

Part 140055946010 is a genuine Electrolux cooktop element rated at 1000W with a 145mm diameter. That's the size of the smaller plates on many electric stoves and cooktops, the ones used for simmering and small saucepans. Before ordering, check that the size, the wattage and the number on your old plate all match this one.

Electric hotplate not heating?

A hotplate element turns electricity into heat through a coiled resistance wire packed inside the plate. After years of heating and cooling, the wire can break, the terminals can corrode or burn, and the plate surface can crack. The usual symptoms are a plate that stays cold on every setting, heats only on high, trips the safety switch, or takes far longer than the others to get hot. If the plate checks out but the knob gets hot or the plate cycles oddly, the energy regulator behind the knob may be the real fault.

Replacing a hotplate safely

Cooktops and stoves are usually hard-wired, so isolate the circuit at the switchboard before you begin, and have a licensed electrician do the job if you're not qualified. Photograph the terminal connections before removing the old plate. Check that the trim ring and mounting suit the new plate, then test each setting once everything is back together.

Questions about this part

Can I use a 1500W plate instead of 1000W?

Stick with the rating your cooktop was designed for. The wiring, energy regulator and switch for that position are matched to the plate, so moving to a higher wattage element can overload them. This 1000W, 145mm plate replaces another of the same rating and size.
